answer :
1.No, this is a compound comma error. The sentence should read: Fred loves to tease Ethel, and Lucy loves to tease Desi.
2. No, this is a misplaced modifier. The sentence should read: Because I was on a strict diet, I ate only the cake.
3. Yes, this sentence is correct.
4. No, this is a pronoun reference error. The word 'which' does not have an antecedent. The sentence should read: Because Ethel broke the car, Fred will not talk to her.
5. No, this is an introductory comma error. The sentence should read: After we had left for Paris, Englewood was thrown into grief.
6. Yes, this sentence is correct.
7. No, this is an interrupter comma error. The sentence should read: Natalie, a skillful bus driver, avoided all the traffic.
8. No, this is a parallelism error. The sentence should read: The family liked swimming at the beach and running on the trails.
9. No, this is a subject/verb agreement error. The subject of 'know' is 'Each,' which is singular. The sentence should read: Each of the players knows how to beat the competition.
10. No, this is a pronoun case error. Because 'whoever' is the subject of the clause 'whoever opens the door,' the pronoun should be in the nominative case. The sentence should read: I know to give the gift to whoever opens the door.
