Sentence 60

Before XYZ effectively manages a Facebook page and an online portal to make sure that both old and new applicants are given the required assistance. After XYZ effectively manages a Facebook page and an online portal to make sure that all applicants are given the required assistance. Notes: 'both old and new applicants' sounds awkward, so I've replaced it with 'all'.

Sentence 59

Before: The calculated media outreach has been satisfyingly high in terms of global applicants. After The calculated media outreach program has been successful in attracting global applicants Notes: satisfyingly high vs successful - word choice in terms of vs. attracting - word choice

Sentence 57

Before There are buses, metros, rickshaws, and taxis, to name a few and these can be either used by themselves or in combination for one to reach their destination.  After There are buses, metrorail, rickshaws, and taxis, which can be used singly or in combination to reach your destination.  Notes: Metros vs. Metrorail - The former refers to cities, the latter to a mode of transport. #word choice 'to name a few' is unnecessary and does not read well. Rephrased ' and these can be either used by themselves or in combination' for clarity. It now reads ' which can be used singly or in combination'. Shorter, clearer. Rephrased ' for one to reach their destination.' as '  to reach your destination.' - made it more direct. Try to avoid writing 'if one were to do this' etc. Write 'your' - directly to the reader.
