G1: write the rule. Do not just write "G" or "Glossary of usage" in your corrections. Find the appropriate section in the alphabetized list below, read it, write the rule (or a short version of the rule), and correct the error.

raise, rise, arise: the first is a transitive verb meaning "to lift"; the second and third are intransitive verbs meaning "to get up."

"He raised his hand." "The balloon rose."

Nowadays arise is used chiefly to mean "to come into being," and it usually applies to abstract things: questions, problems, doubts.

"Unexpected difficulties arose after construction began."

rascal: a noun, not an adjective.

WRONG: a rascal boy.

RIGHT: a rascal.

real, really: real is an adjective, really an adverb. Avoid using either word as a vague intensifier.

WRONG: The test was real hard.

WEAK: The test was really hard.

RIGHT: The test was hard.

reason is because, reason why: not idiomatic. Use the reason that or the reason:

WRONG: The reason I failed is because I was lazy. Laziness is the reason why I failed.

RIGHT: The reason I failed is that I was lazy. Laziness is the reason I failed.

regard(s): idiomatic usage requires "with [or "in"] regard to" but "as regards."

relate (to): vague, especially as a synonym for "approve of " or "feel sympathy for."

role: vague and overused. "Blood plays an important role in Macbeth." So what? Commas play an important role in Macbeth too. Define the importance.
