Answer 1

Mulla Nasiruddin and two other travelers stopped to eat  

their packed lunches. One of the travelers bragged,  

"I only eat roasted, salted pistachios, cashews and dates." The other said, "Well, I only eat dried salmon." Then both men  

looked at Nasiruddin, waiting to hear what he would say.

Seconds later, Nasiruddin held up a piece of bread and  

confidently announced, "Well, I only eat wheat, ground up  and carefully mixed with water, yeast, and salt,  

and then baked at the proper temperature  

for the proper time."  

Explanation:

• The first error is in the use of a conjunction. Instead of the conjunction 'or', 'and' will be used. 'And' denotes the addition of the things.
• The second error is in the use of the word 'their'. 'Their' defines possessiveness.
• The third error is the use of the word 'all' instead of 'both' because only two of them were looking.
• The fourth error is in the used of auxiliary verb 'will'. The correct word will be 'would'.
• The fifth error is the word 'late' which will be written as 'later'.
• The sixth error is in the word 'mix.' 'Mixed is the correct word.
• The seventh error is the word 'than'. Instead of 'than', 'then' will be used.
• The eighth error is the use of the preposition. The correct word will be 'for'.
