• A. To understand

• C. Use of
• D. Living

Explanation: "can you": The phrase "can you" is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. It should be replaced with the word "to" to form a correct sentence. The corrected sentence would be: "how to." The underlined segment that contains the mistake is: "how can you make better use of the scientific method in your everyday living." The corrected sentence would be: "It should also help you understand how to make better use of the scientific method in your everyday life." Mistake: The phrase "can you" should be replaced with "to" to form a grammatically correct sentence.

• A. Was
• B. So that
• C. Could spend

Explanation: Intead of 'was', 'were' should have been used. We wish today were sunny.. These phrases are never correct: I wish I was, I wish it was, he wishes he was, she wishes she was.

• A. Their
• B. Used
• C. Measure

Explanation: The underlined segment that contains the mistake is "used coercive measure". The correct phrase should be "used coercive measures".

Explanation: The underlined segment that contains the mistake is "were excluded of wounds." The correct phrase should be "were excluded from wounds."
