1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.
<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>
2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.
<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>
The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.
<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>
3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.
That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>
<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>

Answer:
Last week I took my Math exam. I started studying on time in order to avoid <u>stress</u>, but some of my friends could not finish the exam, as they did not have enough time to do it. Exams are really important when it comes to our education and our everyday habits because this practice learns us how to be responsible, helps us in <u>getting jobs</u> and provides us some basic knowledge we will need during our lives.
When it comes to studying, the most important thing is to develop <u>good study habits</u>.
Our biggest problem is the fact we don't know how to <u>concentrate</u> on the matter. If we learn how to prioritize our tasks and <u>different subjects</u>, do our homework every day and start learning a couple of days before the exam we won't have any studying issues.
If you tend to achieve success on your exams, you have to be committed, study every day and <u>revise</u> your studying material before the exam.
Answer:
One must mourn before moving on.

In the lines, the speaker talks about how they grateful that they still had their lives, but they were grief-stricken that their friends' lives had been lost. Before setting sail, they recognize the dead by raising a cry, three times. The best theme choice is that one must mourn before moving on. The ships do not leave port until they have mourned and saluted the lives of their friends who were lost. The other options aren't correct. There is no indicated that sadness destroyed anyone.
