2. The fact that I had drowned makes me very careful about water safety whenever I go swimming.
3. Didn't they consider it as quite convincing.
4. St Peter's in/of Rome is the largest church/ of all churches. (it's superlative not comparative)
6. They succeeded making hardly any effort. (hardly is adverb of manner, it follows the verb) e.g "he wrote the letter carefully" and not "he carefully wrote the letter"
