In the given context, the sentence would make more sense in the simple past tense.

As the possessive adjective 'his' in the predicate part signifies a subject in singular number, thus “good leaders” should be replaced with  'A good leader is' to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

As the word ‘bacteria’ is plural, ‘a bacteria’ is incorrect. The singular form is ‘bacterium’.

By placing the modifier “that eats one of the most common forms of plastic after ‘a recycling plant’, the given sentence implies the recycling plant eats plastic!

In the context, the adjective 'what' will be more appropriate instead of the adverb 'how'.

The sentence is absolutely correct.

Committed many mischiefs is the right one.

The sentence given has three errors:

1. ‘Panorama’ is singular. So, the verb associated with this is ‘provides’, not ‘provide’.

2. The preposition ‘of’ connects words and is used to show possession or the relationship between two things. The right word in the given context is ‘off’, the equivalent of ‘away’.

3. The adverb ‘once’ should be placed immediately before the word or phrase it modifies. ‘Called …. once’ could mean it was called so one time (instead of at one time). The correct usage is ‘was once called…’.

Used means to have a practice. Thus “trained” must be replaced by “used”.

‘The Board of Directors’ is a collective noun. Thus, it takes the singular verb ‘its’. It’s is an incorrect usage with the context as it means “it is”.

Here the sentence is in past tense, so the verb should be in past form.
