1. Yes, the paragraph unifies. However, sentence (4) “This is even harder in some fields.” does not explicitly support the main idea about a student's past experience and the factors affecting study habits.

2. Yes, the paragraph has a topic sentence. The topic sentence is (1) “The most important factor is a student's past experience of study.”

3. There are 5 mistakes in the paragraph. Here are the corrected mistakes:
i) have → has
ii) habits → habits'
iii) to be say → to say
iv) grapple → grapples
v) inspiring → inspires

(Note: ii) is ambiguous and depends on whether the intent is to indicate possession or grammatical structure. If the original intention is unclear, please validate with context. The other corrections reflect standard grammatical fixes.)
