1. Its choir of boys and undergraduates is well known all over the world.
Explanation: The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the past tense "was" instead of the present tense "is". Since the sentence is talking about the current reputation of the choir, we need to use the present tense.

2. This park has developed in response to the need for universities to increase their contact with high technology industry.
Explanation: The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the word "needed" instead of "need". The word "needed" is in the past tense, which doesn't fit with the present tense "has developed". We need to use the present tense "need" to maintain consistency in the sentence.

3. The planners thought that it was important for people to have a pleasant, park-like environment in which to work.
Explanation: The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the word "usual" instead of "important". The word "usual" means something that is typical or common, but in this context, we want to convey the idea that the planners believed it was essential or significant for people to have a pleasant working environment. Therefore, we need to change "usual" to "important". Additionally, the word "park-like" should be hyphenated to correctly modify the word "environment".
