WHAT IS JUSTIFIED/EXPLAINED by those facts or details.
Concentrate on WHAT THE FACTS DO, not what the facts are
ABRUPT SHIFT IN THE LAST FEW LINES, --> this is NOT part of the main idea

Detail
The verb to rise is an irregular verb. The simple past tense is not raised, but rather rose.
Correct idioms are "suspect that" and "suspect X of VERBing
Correct idiom is "X is attributed to Y"
Mistake X for Y
Complex gerunds and simple gerunds are not used in parallelism
Verb tense
"Quicker" is an adj, quickly is an adverb
Idiom: elect to
Error In demonstrating the time-gap
"thus" can mean "the same way"
"in this way" can't refer to a physical state
"In that", "so that" modify the entire clause while "that" only modify the preceding noun.
the steps of the process should be presented in chronological order
careless about the part that is not underlined.
"X,Y and Z" is not a proper list of three things.
"X,Y, and Z" is a list of three things
Always use "compared to" and "compared with" with quantities/statistics
Ex: Compared with 10% in 2010
"including" shoud give a list of some, but not all, of that noun.
Idiom: owed restitution to X for Y
Check the SUBJECT and verb carefully
you don't use "x itself" unless you are trying to emphasize some element of the inherent nature of x
(as opposed to something associated with x, or with some part of x).
Idiom: "On the ground that" NOT "on the ground of"
idiom: dedicated to V-ing
In CR, must identify THE FACTS, which cannot be attacked.
"Due to" must modify a noun. Without preceeding noun, it is incorrect.
"Because of" modifies an entire clause.
If the appositive is concrete, it must modify the preceeding noun.
If the appositive is abstract, it can modify the whole idea of the preceeding clause.
But if the preceding noun is also an abstraction, then these can also modify the preceding noun
