In each of the sentences, there is an error. Point out the error and then correct it. 1. Is David still a spinster? [Correction:Is David also a sprinster?] [Reason: How can we match "be" and "still"...?] 2. Mary is dangerous to come at this time. [Correction: It is dangerous for Mary to come at this time.] [Reason: The dangerous thing is "Mary's comming at this time".] 3. I like to hear the radio. [Correction: I like to listen to the radio.] [Reason: "Hear" implies "recognizing sounds without any intention.] 4. His health seems well. [Correction: His health seems (or looks) good.] [Reason: Since "Well" is an adverb, either "he seems well" or "his health seems good" is more appropriate.] 5. The staff meeting will be held at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. [Correction: The staff meeting is held at 2 p.m. in the afternoon.] [Reason: An event at specific timing doesn't involve the future tense.]
