A lot to fix with this paper. First, it needs to be two FULL pages. Second, as the directions state, the grammar needs to correct...English grammar. Third, a lot of sentences aren't cited; I'll list them below. These new citations will also need to be added to the reference page. The corrections will be in all caps:
-The companys total assets for the year were $1.02 billion against the claimable debts of $1.46 billion. THIS NEEDS TO BE CITED AND WHAT YEAR IS THIS DATA FROM?
-The company maintained that it had adequate arrangements with the companys bondholders to finance the reorganization of the firm operations with a total of $125 million. THIS NEEDS TO BE CITED
-These include Century Fox entertainment with a claim of $21.6 million and Warner Home Video with a claim of $19 million. THIS NEEDS TO BE CITED
