When you purchase cut flowers from your local florist, do you think 0. on (on → about) where they came from?

This allows Americans, for example, to import some 70 percent of the cut flowers they buy. The country that exports the most cut flowers are the Netherlands, which dominates the world cut-flower trade. There, seven auction houses4 handle about 60 percent of the world’s cut-flower exports.

Here is the corrected version of the text with the ten mistakes underlined and their corrections provided:
When you purchase cut flowers from your local florist, do you think 0. on (on $\rightarrow$ about) where they came from? Common 1. senses (senses $\rightarrow$ sense) might tell you that they were grown close by, because cut flowers can’t survive a long trip. The reality, 2. therefore (therefore $\rightarrow$ however), is that your cut flowers might come from places like the Netherlands, Ecuador, or Kenya! Flowers can now travel long distances thanks 3. for (for $\rightarrow$ to) air freight and high-tech 4. cool (cool $\rightarrow$ cooling) systems. Even the most delicate orchid can be shipped to arrive 5. freshly (freshly $\rightarrow$ fresh) in most places on Earth. This allows Americans, for example, to import some 70 percent of the cut flowers they buy. The country that exports the most cut flowers 6. are (are $\rightarrow$ is) the Netherlands, which dominates the world cut-flower trade. There, seven auction houses handle about 60 percent of the world’s cut-flower exports. Some auction houses are very large indeed - Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is an auction house in the sense 7. which (which $\rightarrow$ that) Tokyo is a city or Everest a mountain. Its scale is daunting. About 120 soccer fields would fill 8. their (their $\rightarrow$ its) main hangar, which holds five auction halls. Nineteen million cut flowers are sold here on an average day. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists try to find ways to lengthen 9. a flowers (a flowers $\rightarrow$ a flower’s) vase life. They also try to strengthen flowers to prevent them from 10. damaging (damaging $\rightarrow$ being damaged) while traveling on rough roads and to strengthen flowers’ natural fragrance.
Giải thích:
1. senses $\rightarrow$ sense: "Common senses" không đúng vì "sense" trong trường hợp này mang nghĩa là "lẽ thường" hay "trực giác thông thường". "Common sense" là một cụm từ cố định.
2. therefore $\rightarrow$ however: "Therefore" có nghĩa là "vì thế" hoặc "do đó", nhưng câu này đang chuyển hướng nghĩa, nên phải dùng "however" (tuy nhiên) để diễn đạt sự đối lập.
3. for $\rightarrow$ to: "Thanks for" thường dùng để bày tỏ sự cảm ơn về một điều gì đó. Trong trường hợp này, câu đang nói về việc "nhờ có...", nên "thanks to" mới là đúng.
4. cool $\rightarrow$ cooling: Vì "cool" là tính từ, nhưng ở đây cần danh từ "cooling systems".
5. freshly $\rightarrow$ fresh: "Freshly" là trạng từ, nhưng câu cần tính từ "fresh" để mô tả trạng thái của hoa khi đến nơi.
6. are $\rightarrow$ is: "The country" là danh từ số ít, nên động từ đi kèm phải là "is" chứ không phải "are".
7. which $\rightarrow$ that: "That" phù hợp hơn trong câu so sánh này vì nó giúp câu rõ ràng hơn. "Which" thường được dùng trong mệnh đề không xác định (non-defining clause), nhưng ở đây đang xác định ý nghĩa.
8. their $\rightarrow$ its: "Main hangar" là danh từ số ít, nên tính từ sở hữu phải là "its" thay vì "their".
9. a flowers $\rightarrow$ a flower’s: "A flowers" không đúng về mặt ngữ pháp. Phải là "a flower’s vase life" để chỉ "tuổi thọ của một bông hoa trong bình".
10. damaging $\rightarrow$ being damaged: Vì "damaging" có nghĩa là "gây tổn hại". Ở đây cần "being damaged" để diễn tả ý rằng hoa được bảo vệ khỏi bị hư hại khi vận chuyển.

on → about
→ Sửa lại: "do you think about where they came from?"
senses → sense
→ Dùng “common sense” (không dùng số nhiều).
for → to
→ "thanks to air freight..." mới đúng.
freshly → fresh
→ “arrive fresh” (tính từ), không dùng trạng từ “freshly”.
are → is
→ “The country... is the Netherlands” (chủ ngữ số ít).
which → that
→ “in the sense that Tokyo is a city...” (câu xác định).
fill → fit in
→ “120 soccer fields would fit in the hangar” mới hợp lý.
a flowers → a flower’s
→ Sở hữu cách đúng là “a flower’s vase life”.
damaging → being damaged
→ Cấu trúc bị động: “prevent them from being damaged”.
strengthen fragrance → enhance fragrance (tùy chọn)
→ "Enhance" phù hợp hơn với "fragrance" (mùi hương), “strengthen” nghe không tự nhiên.
