The mistakes in the original text include:
"a)" should be "the" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
"b)" should be "who" to show possession.
"c)" should be "an" as it is referring to a singular, unspecified person.
"d)" should be "has" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
"e)" should be "was" to indicate past tense.
"f)" should be "has" to indicate the present status
"g)" should be "for" to indicate the right preposition
"h)" should be "of" to indicate possession
"i)" should be "and" to indicate that Shakespeare is both a dramatist and a poet.
