If the sentence is singular, change it to the plural; if it is plural, change it to the singular.

The first participant to make the correct changes will receive the bonus mark.

The baseball players were anxiously waiting for the games to start, but they were also nervous because they knew that a scout from the major league was there, and every player wanted to make a good impression.

Good. Jacquelyn answered first, but Fatuma found more changes -- so I will award half a point to each of you.

Fatuma, note that "he/she" is rather poor style. In this case, it would have been better to choose one pronoun or the other.
