Hi duc
They probably want you to replace 'altering' with 'alteration'.

Hi, Amy

In the definition Forgery is the fabrication of a written document with the intent to deceive or defraud is it necessary to use the before intent ? Can we say just ...with intent to deceive... ?

Thanks !

Hi Alex

I suppose the word 'the' could be omitted before 'intent', however I would include it.
