Explanation:

• 1. The subject of this sentence is 'oats'. It is defined to be a kind of serial grain. The preposition linking species and serial grain is 'of' and not 'with'.
• 2. In this sentence the entire human race is being considered so instead of 'human being' it should be in the plural form 'human beings'.
• 3. The third sentence is in continuation with the second sentence and the word 'date' is a verb and not a proper noun so it must be in small letter and in agreement with the noun 'consumption' as dates..
• 4. Any food item is consumed 'for' breakfast and not 'by'. By is the wrong preposition.
• 5. The subject 'oats' is in the plural form. Hence according to the subject-verb agreement it should be 'are' and not 'is'.
• 6. The subject 'they' is plural so the verb in agreement is 'have' and not 'has'.
• The abstract noun 'tolerance' is followed by the preposition 'towards' not by the verb 'is'.
• When the word 'such' is used for comparison it is followed by 'as' and not 'like'.
