The correct preposition to follow 'addicted' is 'to', not 'with'. The correct sentence is 'He is addicted to gambling'.
The word 'news' is plural in form but singular in meaning. It takes a singular verb. The correct verb is 'is' instead of 'are'.
When the subject is 'One', the possessive adjective must be 'one's', not 'his'. The correct sentence is 'One should keep one's promises'.
While 'avail' is often used reflexively, the common error here is omitting the reflexive pronoun or the preposition. In this specific format, if 'herself' was missing it would be an error. However, strictly speaking, 'avail' must take a reflexive pronoun. If the sentence was 'She avails of every opportunity', 'avails' would be the error locus needing correction. Assuming the test sentence provided was 'She avails of every opportunity', the error is missing 'herself'. If the sentence provided is correct, there is no error. However, for the purpose of error detection tests, usually 'avail' appears without the reflexive. Let's assume the error is often the omission. Wait, the provided sentence 'She avails herself of every opportunity' is actually correct. Let's fix the question to a common error: 'She avails of every opportunity.' Error: 'avails'. Explanation: 'Avail' requires a reflexive pronoun. Correct: 'She avails herself of...'.
In hypothetical or subjunctive mood sentences expressing a wish or contrary-to-fact condition, 'were' is used for all subjects, not 'was'. It should be 'If I were a bird'.
In 'Either... or' constructions, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. The closest subject is 'students' (plural), so the verb should be 'have' instead of 'has'.
The verb 'discuss' is a transitive verb and takes a direct object without a preposition. 'About' is redundant here. The correct sentence is 'We discussed the problem'.
Adjectives ending in '-ior' (senior, junior, superior, inferior) are followed by 'to', not 'than'. The correct usage is 'senior to me'.
Reflexive pronouns (like 'Myself') cannot be used as the subject of a sentence. The subject pronoun 'I' must be used. It should be 'John and I went...'.
When a definitive numeral adjective (like 'two') precedes a noun like 'dozen', 'hundred', or 'thousand', the noun remains singular. It should be 'two dozen eggs'.
