1. **Does the paragraph unify? If it does not, which sentence does not support the topic sentence?**
Yes, the paragraph unifies around the topic of a recipe to get rid of fleas on the head. However, sentence (3) about using other liquor does not strongly support the main idea, as it may divert attention from the traditional use of whiskey.

2. **Does the paragraph have a concluding sentence? If it does, which sentence is it?**
Yes, the concluding sentence is (8): "In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a boulder fight, and your scalp will be as clean as it can be."

3. **There are 5 mistakes in the paragraph. Underline and correct them. One has been done for you.**
i) fail → fails
ii) minute → minutes
iii) felt → feel
iv) on → onto
v) boulder → bottle

Revised Corrections:
1) My father gave me a recipe that **never fails** to get rid of any pesky fleas you may have on your head.
2) After a few **minutes**, when you **feel** your scalp tingling with all those fleas jumping around, pour **onto** the sand.
3) In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a **bottle** fight, and your scalp will be as clean as it can be.

1. Does the paragraph unify? If it does not, which sentence does not support the topic sentence?

Yes, the paragraph is unified. All sentences support the main idea of providing a recipe to get rid of fleas. Each step builds on the previous one and contributes to the overall instruction.

2. Does the paragraph have a concluding sentence? If it does, which sentence is it?

Yes, the concluding sentence is: In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a boulder fight, and your scalp will be as clean as it can be. This sentence summarizes the effect of the method described.

3. There are 5 mistakes in the paragraph. Underline and correct them. One has been done for you.

Here are the corrections for the mistakes:

i) fail → fails
ii) minute → minutes (plural)
iii) felt → feel (present tense for consistency)
iv) boulder → bizarre (contextually appropriate word)
v) Other → Any (to maintain consistency with "any pesky fleas")

Corrected Paragraph

My father gave me a recipe that never fails to get rid of any pesky fleas you may have on your head. First of all, measure 2 ounces of whisky into a shot glass. Any liquor will do, but whiskey is traditional. Next, fill another shot glass with sand. Then, pour the whisky onto your head and rub it in. The whisky is very strong. After a few minutes, when you feel your scalp tingling with all that fleas jumping around, pour on the sand. In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a bizarre fight, and your scalp will be as clean as it can be.

1. Does the paragraph unify?

No, the paragraph does not unify. Sentence (6) is irrelevant to the topic of removing fleas. It introduces a personal opinion about whiskey's strength, which does not contribute to the main idea of the paragraph.

2. Does the paragraph have a concluding sentence?

Yes, sentence (8) is the concluding sentence. It summarizes the process and result of using the flea removal method described in the paragraph.

3. Mistakes in the paragraph:

i) Corrected: fail → fails (already done)

ii) Sentence (2): measure 2 ounces of whisky into a shot glass --> measure 2 ounces of whisky in a shot glass (correct preposition)

iii) Sentence (4): Next, fill another shot glass with sand --> Next, fill a second shot glass with sand (more accurate and concise)

iv) Sentence (7): After a few minute, when you felt your scalp tingling with all that fleas jumping around --> After a few minutes, when you felt your scalp tingling with all those fleas jumping around (plural noun agreement)

v) Sentence (8): In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a boulder fight --> In a few moments, the drunken fleas will kill each other in a brawl (more appropriate term for a fight between small creatures)
