The first sentence is a question (even though there is no "?" at the end). The second sentence is a statement. Changing the order of the subject (Mary) and the verb (would be) changes the sentence between statement and question.

In my opinion, none of these sound correct. The issue is with the word "dislike". It is a verb. In casual conversation, it does get used as a noun. But usually it is paired with the word "likes", as in "What are your likes and dislikes?" In isolation, it sounds funny. I'm not sure what the context is for these sentences. But if I were to guess, then I'd offer the following alternatives: 2. Why are there so many things that people dislike? 3. Why do so many people dislike things?

It's "There might come a day...". There's no grammatical reason for it. It's just a fixed expression. But then again, there might come a day when I have a better answer.... ;-)

In my opinion, "I am thinking of her" is acceptable English. For example, Katy Perry has a song called "Thinking of You" and Olly Murs has "Thinking of Me". I believe "thinking of her" and "thinking about her" have the same meaning and are equally acceptable from a grammar standpoint. But, "thinking about her" is probably the more common way people say it.

From a grammar perspective, they're both fine as is. The one sentence, "Have you won the award?" is slightly odd. "Have you..." implies that there is a situation that has been going on for some time, and the person is asking if the situation has ended. For example, "Have you finished cleaning your room?" or "Have you arrived at the office?" The phrase "Have you won the award?" might be appropriate if the winning of the award is a situation that has been going on for some time. For example, perhaps the person wins an award after selling $5000 and this person has been working towards the award. But most of the time that an award is won, it is not an ongoing situation. It is a single moment in time. So "Did you win the award?" is more natural in most cases. (Also, "I heard you won an award" can be a statement or a question, and the meaning is slightly different. "I heard you won an award." means "I received information that states you won an award and I believe it. "I heard you won an award?" means "I received information that states you won an award, but I do not fully believe it and I am seeking confirmation.")

From a grammar standpoint, the sentences are correct or nearly correct. However, the sentences are long and the structure is complex, which makes them harder to understand. I would recommend simplifying the structure by breaking them down into shorter sentences and replacing some pronouns with nouns. (Also, I do not fully understand the subject matter, so I am making a few guesses.) There are many reasons why Landsea could win this award honorably. One important reason is its effective commercial mode for the green building design. This mode builds a stable, effective, green building technology system in the process of designing. It also has the ability to serve the whole development cycle, including modules such as green building planning, special purchase, and green building marketing consulting.

The verb "to hold" can be used alone or as part of an expression. When it is used alone, the most common meaning is "to have something in your hand(s) or arm(s)". For example, "I hold my phone." or "She is holding the book". However, "to hold" has additional meanings. For example, it can mean "to host an event", such as "We will hold the celebration on Sunday." When it is used as part of an expression, it can have many different meanings. Here are a few examples: To hold someone responsible - To assign responsibility to someone. (I hold you responsible for this mess.) To hold something open - To prevent something from closing. (Can you hold the door open for me?) To hold at - To maintain a state. (We do not know if sales will continue to hold at this level.) It would be impossible to briefly summarize all the additional meanings of held.

When you place value on something, it means you value it highly. For example: "We place more value on our employees than on our profits. That's why people love to work for us." "She places no value on studying. That's why she doesn't get good grades." "Do you think I place to much value on my appearance?" The original sentence is saying most (companies) are concerned with three things: (1) defining what customers need; (2) the gaps in their products (the ways in which their products lack features or fail to satisfy customers); and (3) the amount of importance the market gives to (having good) product features. I hope this helps.
