Explanation:

• Editing is characterized as the process of change in the text of a document or work in order to make it grammatically apt and lexically coherent.
• In the given passage, the first sentence contains a prepositional error as it wrongly uses 'on' with the verb 'gaze' in place of 'at.'
• In the next sentence, 'being' is wrongly used because the preposition 'to' always carries the Ist form of the verb. Hence, it will be replaced by 'become.'
• Using the same rule, 'exploring' used with 'to' is incorrect and it must be substituted by 'explore.'
• In the last sentence, the reference is made to previously mentioned merchant ships, and therefore, 'those' should be used in place of 'that.'
