John's wallet was not coming out of the store. John was.

correction : Coming out of the departmental store, John lost his wallet


Pronoun number error :

" The average number of moviegoer expects to see at least once scene of violence per film, and they seldom disappointed "

The average number of moviegoers- the average number is singular- so they is incorrect



u might want to give MGMAT sc a read before reading any flashcards.

how to correct this ?
Cheers !!
