4. a misused conjunct
What's wrong with "The group of students was phased by being asked to pour over the text."?
1. It should be 'were', 'fazed' and 'pore'
2. It should be 'fazed' and 'pore'

What's wrong with writing: "This is a fun activity which is great for practising the forms."
1. 'fun' is not an attributive adjective and 'great' has little meaning

3. It is not clear what 'This' refers to
4. It is an overuse of simile
