“The Elizabethan era brought the Renaissance, new thinking to England.
Elizabethan women from wealthy and noble families were sometimes
allowed the privilege of an. Education. The girls of noble birth were
invariably taught by tutors at home and Elizabethan women were taught
from the age of five, or even younger.”

Errors:
a. Unknown/Various: This one’s perplexing. It could be an appositive, albeit a poor one. Perhaps the author believes the era brought the Renaissance new thinking (subject-verb-indirect object-direct object) and simply separated willy-nilly with a comma. Perhaps the author forgot the third item of his/her list. At any rate, this isn’t right.
b. Period: The Society wishes to inform the author that a period belongs at the end of a. Sentence.
c. Comma: Independent clauses separated with coordinating conjunction without a comma.
