Grammatical mistakes
 
Hello dear colleagues!
 
Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!
 
I was wondering if you could help me with the following questions. I need to make sure which answer is correct
 
 
Part A) Which underlined word or group of words is NOT correct?
 
 
 
1. Trash art has been around for years, and it seems to make comeback from time to time. But it seems that only the more eccentric or popular artists are viewed as true artists when working with items normally discarded in the trash pile. 
 
 
2. Usually, when HIV enters the bloodstream, the body immune system produces antibodies to battle the microorganisms. Blood tests can detect these antibodies and therefore can indicate exposure to the virus.
 
 
3. Since my brother has become the mayor, he reckons that he has eaten 30 official lunches and 22 official dinners, and he has lost count of the number of receptions and parties that he attends.
 
 
4. Until several years ago, surgical techniques were not too effective for lower back pain. Recent advances in surgery have greatly increased the success of surgical treatment for lower back pain.
 
 
 
Part B) Which sentences are grammatically Not correct?
 
 
a. As far as I remember, you are the same size. 
 
b. "I didn�t know what you mean" said Fran with a quavering voice.
 
c. We had a miserable weather while in holiday.
d. The damage done to his honor would have to be avenged.
 
 
 
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
 
All the best,
 
Javad

Hi Javad, here�s my take on these:
1.a comeback 
2.body�s 
3.he has attended
4.? It looks OK. Maybe of lower back pain, but no real need to change that. 
 
b. I didn�t know what you meant. 
c. miserable weather (no a) and on holiday.
