I am going to descripe 3 examples from the first exercises:
1- Parallelism
It means you have to make the sentence balanced and have the same weight especially between these word ( and , or, but).
ex.1 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or when a volcano erupts.
ex.2 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or a volcano eruption.
So, the first example is not balanced because after OR he uses verb and it should be noun, but in the second he uses noun before and after OR
2-Active and passive verbs
Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs
ex.1 I throw the ball.
The subject of an active sentence performs the action of the verb
ex.2 The ball is thrown by me.
The subject of a passive sentence is still the main character of the sentence, but something else performs the action.
3-Mixed construction
It is a sentence that starts with one grammatical form and ends with another.
ex.1 The name of the song called "words unspoken".
In this sentence we don't need the word "called"
ex.2 The name of the song is " words unspoken"
So you notice that we change the word " called" to "is"
