    c) Orion ran all the way to an shop at an end of his road to spend his pocket money on an comic
    Is should be:
    Orion ran all the way to the(it should be 'the' because it is one particular place) shop at the (it should be 'the' because it is one particular place) end of his road to spend his pocket money on a (it's an 'a' not a 'an' as the word comic starts with a consonant and not a vowel) comic.
