Fix the errors indicated in the screenshot and then resubmit your essay.

The reading passage’s author is convinced that asteroids are (good choices)( a good choice ) for colonization. ( punctuation error )Yet, the professor disagrees with it(unclear pronoun  ).

First, the professor disputes the reading’s points ( by saying )that having a lower gravity is (a good thing)( use concrete words ),( punctuation error ) because low gravity may have a bad influence on people. For example, people living on the asteroids will lose muscle mass, which may lead to health problems.

Second, the professor opposes to the point that we can mine valuable metals ( in order )to pay for the cost of the colonization ( costs ). He points(word repetition  ) out that the( transportation ) cost of the transporting will be a high consumption( unclear ). In addition, we can not be sure (avoid using NOT; little evidence suggests  )that the price(s  ) of the metals will be the same as it is( avoid using BE; remain stable ), (punctuation error  )because if the supplement(wrong word  ) of them increases(increased  ), the price of them(unclear pronoun  ) will ( would drop )be lower as well.

Finally, while the reading notes( suggests/argues ) that the asteroids will be very easy to reach(confusion  ), the professor holds a different perspective. The professor explains that though they are easy to reach at one point, they will not stay there. The asteroid may move far away from the Earth, making it extremely hard to go ( come ) back( return ) to the Earth.
