error correction Hello,
Would you please read the following expressions and help me with the questions in the brackets? Thanks!
1. deviate more and more from the orbit(or "farther/further and farther/further" instead of "more and more"?)
2.It behaves dramatically different from that one.(or "differently" instead of "different"?)
3. A combines with B (Can "combine" be used as an intransitive verb like this?)
4.Compare B, you'll see....(A has been mentioned before, but can "A with" after "compare" be omitted? Or can we say "compare A and B" ?)
4.Whether the sentence is just or unjust, the views among judges split.(Can "whether" introduce an adverbial clause?)
5.the information is increased(Does "increase" match "information"?)
6.As the price to pay, he was sent to jail.(The sentence simply means "he deserves the punishment", but the first part seems unnatural. Is there a better way to express it?)
7.He is a gifted musician, besides that he shows much talent for sports.(Can "besides" be followed by a clause?)
It interacts with B, besides with A.(Is it correct or acceptable? The meaning is "It interacts with B as well as A".)
8. In order that he succeeds....(Is it acceptable if subjunctive mood is not used in the clause?)
9.A is a scientist, B works in a department store, C teaches chemistry, and D makes living by playing guitar in the hotel.(Are the quotation marks correct in such a sentence not as in parallel structure " A is a scientist, B is a sales clerk, C is a teacher, and D is an musician" or is any transitional word needed?)
10.Their form is identical.( Or "forms are"?)
11.They have received the order either they go to the front or they stay where they are.(Can "either" be followed by a clause or any part of a sentence?)
12.From... to ... doesn't imply any change?(Can preparational phrase " from... to..." serve as subject?)
