#3Misconception

This spelling doubles the 'c' instead of the 's'. In 'necessary', only the 's' is doubled ('ss'), not the 'c': n-e-c-e-s-s-a-r-y.

#4Misconception

'Had' shifts the sentence to simple past tense, but the sentence is in present tense ('submitted' is already the past action being described; the linking verb must match the subject in present tense). The student has confused tense correction with subject-verb agreement correction.

#5Misconception

'Having' creates a participle phrase, not a finite verb, leaving the sentence without a main verb. The student may have confused a continuous form with a corrected singular form.
