Likewise, we encountered a number of errors when going through the Skill activities. We have tried to list them in "skill order" as follows:

1. In Skill 2, in the sentence that reads, "Suddenly the lights dimmed in the theater, and people hurried to their seats," there's a strange character between the words "hurried" and "to" as seen below:

2. This sentence in Skill 2 is incomplete: "Mars is the planet closest to Earth it has long captivated our."
   
   
3. This sentence in Skill 2 is missing the capital letter 'T': "(T)he crops did not grow well last summer". The correct rationale for this sentence is grammatically incorrect. As it is now, it reads, "Sorry, is actually a run-on sentence." This should read, "Sorry, this is actually a run-on sentence."
   
   
4. In Skill 2, one of the sentences for "Rudolf Diesel invented the engine that was named for him" is incomplete. The rationale for the incorrect choice seems wrong as well, but it may be because the sentence is incomplete.
   
   
5. In the same section, the following sentence isn't complete in another exercise: "Patience is not always easy to come by and I have a particularly hard".
