I. The following text contains many 'which's’ and 'that's’. Underline the ten extra ones, 
which are grammatically wrong. 
 Having just spent three weeks of my life sitting on an uncomfortable saddle, pounding the 
roads of France, I am in no fit state that to do anything except sit and write, which suits me 
find. For I have cycled some 1,500 kilometres, a figure which includes some extremely hilly 
routes, and frankly the thought of mounting a bicycle again which is not one that I can face 
for a good few days yet. The journey, which I undertook alone for most of the way, was all in 
the name of charity - Help the Aged, a cause which I support whenever that I can. Having 
organised my sponsorship, which I arrived in France armed only with a tiny map of the Tour 
de France route, which hastily removed from last month's 'Cycling World' magazine. My 
intention which was to try and follow the route that the professionals take, but after three days 
in which I pushed my body to extremes that I had never experienced before, that I rapidly 
abandoned this plan and returned to flatter groun4. On the flat which I was able to keep to 
about 120 kilometres a day, which is respectable. I did have to rest my weary limbs at the 
weekends, though, which enabled me to recharge my batteries, by which I mean my bodily 
ones, not the ones that inside my bike lights. I am pleased to say, that after three tortuous 
weeks, which I ended up in Marseilles, but what pleased me all the more is that I managed to 
raise over £2,000 for Help the Aged.
