Answer 2

The passage is edited below:

Answer:

An old man named Peter lived with his wife in woods.

He was a farmer and would spend all day ploughing the field outside the cottage.

Explanation:

This is the edited passage which is corrected.

Here, we have removed the 'a' before 'old man' and replaced it with 'an'. We should always write the first letter of any name of person. So we have written 'P' in capital in the name Peter.

'a' is removed before the woods as it is inappropriate to add 'a' before woods. 'would spend all day' is a simple present tense that we have used here instead of 'spending'.

Points to remember while editing a passage:

•Uncertain language must be removed.

•Check for the mistaken tensed and correct it.

•Weak adjectives should be removed.

•It is more appropriate to eliminate or remove the filler words.
