Error type 10: The sentence uses 'by seeing' awkwardly and repeats phrases; 'watching' is the correct verb form to express the method (verb + -ing) and avoids the repetition. Also 'surrounds' is incorrect for past context and plural subject; use 'surrounded' to match past tense and 'who' to refer to people. Suggestion: replace 'by seeing' with 'by watching' and use past tense 'surrounded' with 'acted' to keep tense consistent. Grammar problem type ID: 10
