d.) and board ( incorrect) breadth ( correct) of the country. Most of

e.) the castle ( incorrect) Castles ( correct) is ( incorrect) are ( correct) now in rains ( incorrect) Ruins ( correct).

Explanation:

• In the first sentence the world cultural ( adjective) should be used and not the noun form, that is culture should be used because cultural is used to show the quality or feature of Scotland.
• In the second sentence,  the word thousands should be used instead of thousand because there are more than one castle.
• Similarly in the third sentence, the past form of the verb, that is Scattered should be used in place of scatter because in rest of the sentence the past tense is used.
• In the fourth sentence, breadth should be used, to signify the dimensions of the country.
• In the fifth sentence, the plural form of castle, that is Castles should be used because there are more than one castle. For plural noun, plural verb, are should be used, and ruins should be used instead of rains, to signify the condition of these castles.
• Therefore, the whole passage would be:
• Scotland has a rich cultural heritage. Part of this is reflected in the thousands of castles that are scattered around the length and breadth of the country. Most of the castles are now in ruins.
