Submit your paper timeously and correctly.

Answer 1

The first sentence is a run-on (comma splice):

"The maxim of relation relates to relevance, the maxim of manner pertains to presentation amongst other aspects of academic writing."

Fixes:
- Use a period: "The maxim of relation relates to relevance. The maxim of manner pertains to presentation, among other aspects of academic writing."
- Use a semicolon: "The maxim of relation relates to relevance; the maxim of manner pertains to presentation, among other aspects of academic writing."
- Use a conjunction: "The maxim of relation relates to relevance, and the maxim of manner pertains to presentation, among other aspects of academic writing."

(The other two sentences are fine.)
