What is the one mistake in this paragraph?

Question

Christopher Columbus was not the first European to visit America. Several hundred years before Columbus, Vikings established a colony in North America. A viking sea captain named Leif Ericson was probably the first European to land in the New World. He spent the winter in a place he called Vinland. Although there is no positive proof, most archaeologists think tha Vinland was on the island of Newfoundland.


What's the 1 mistake in it?

the part the says "tha vinland" was a mistake. It was a typo, sorry. Anything besides that....

Answer 1

Not counting the typo that you already mentioned, in the part where you wrote "A viking sea captain named Leif Ericson" the word "Viking" should be capitalized. Also, "Ericson" has variously been spelled as "Erickson" or "Ericcson" or even ended with "en" instead of "on" depending on who is spelling it.

Answer 2

There's more than 1 mistake
First, it says that most archaeologists think that Vinland was on the island of Newfoundland, but what evidence is there that that is actually a fact? If the paragraph is trying to refute a myth, it needs a fact instead of an assumption. This paragraph is trying to state that Christopher Columbus was definitely not the first European to visit America, but it ends up saying "there is no positive proof."

Also, the word "that" is missing a t in the last line.

Answer 3

Although there is no positive proof, most archaeologists think tha Vinland was on the island of Newfoundland.

You left the "t" off of the word that in the above line.

Answer 4

I assume you are asking for grammatical help, I'm not researching the topic.

"European to visit America."
should be
"European to visit North America."

"A viking sea captain"
should be
"A Viking sea captain"

"Leif Ericson"
should be
"Leif Ericsson"

"most archaeologists think tha Vinland"
Should be
"most archaeologists think that Vinland"

Answer 5

tha Vinland

Answer 6

"think tha Vinland was on the island of Newfoundland."

missing a 't" on that

Answer 7

I can see more than one mistake.

It should be: "A Viking sea captain...", "archaeologists think that Vinland..."

Answer 8

The first land he met was covered with flat rock slabs (Old Norse: hellur). He therefore called it Helluland ("Land of the Flat Stones"), probably the present day Baffin Island. Next he came to a land that was flat and wooded, with white sandy beaches, which he called Markland ("Wood-land"), usually assumed to have been Labrador.

Answer 9

The Disposable Patriotic workplace look after Mark V, who –for cover motives- had to be shot and altered with an comparable clone each morning, became into as grim as his previous incarnations. while a secretary materialized in the previous him he snapped his heels at the same time, barked the familiar insincere greeting and pressed some buttons on the panel next to him, as though he have been poking somebody interior the attention. as quickly as executed, he hugged his blaster rifle on the element of his chest and glued his gaze in some unspecified time interior the destiny interior the ceiling which, judging by using the seem in his eyes appeared fairly loathsome to him. at the back of him, 3 9-inch-thick steel doorways slid open one by using one. The final one opened on the towering physique of CEO Zog Timghaly whose back became into to the entrance. He became into conversing to somebody hidden from view. "I’m going to kill her,” mentioned Zog in his well known vanity-shattering voice, “I’m going to grind her dumb head into smithereens. i'm going to do it my own fists.” He rotated hastily and ran into the trembling secretary. “What?” he bellowed. “Um... y-you wanted to verify me, Sir?" all of it sounds super purely make specific you indent the 1st paragraph...

Answer 10

besides the typo, The word Viking should be capitalized in the second sentence, and the word 'that' in the last sentence is missing a 't' ...that's all I see wrong!

Answer 11

most archaeologists think tha

The t in that is missing.
