a. Paolo recruited job applicants for the company that showed promise.

The error in this sentence is a: AMBIGUITY.

Who showed promise? The company or the job applicants? This sentence is not specific and you really cannot tell whether the job applicants or the company showed promise.

b. We will be visiting our accounts in California, Oregon, and visiting our accounts in Washington.

The error in this sentence is a: LACK OF PARALLELISM.

In order to show parallelism you should include the dates of the visits, since you cannot visit all 3 states in the same day and do your work properly.

The sentence is missing, so I looked for a similar question:

"Bill made an error when he was processing your invoice."

The sentence excerpted from the e-mail uses ACTIVE voice. Given the purpose of your message, this voice IS NOT appropriate.

The whole purpose of this message is to solve a problem without criticizing Bill, but by using active voice, you are directly criticizing him.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
