Pronoun : Using he for animals
Hi Please find the error in this sentence :
As soon as (1) / the lion saw the deer (2) / he began to run after it.(3) / No error
As per book its no error but what I have learned he we can't use he / she for animals unless we have a "personal" relation(such as a pet ) with them.

Vary from One another vs vary from one to another ?
Hi
I have to spot the error from the following sentence :
The three individuals are so different / that their tastes vary / from one another . I guess first two parts are correct , I suspect error to be in 3rd part , correct sentence should be VARY FROM ONE TO ANOTHER.
What do you guys say ?
