Answer:

- Scientific information like this does not always hold my attention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sentence employs the tense inappropriately to describe the fact which makes it grammatically and semantically incorrect. In order to rectify this error, the correct auxiliary verb 'does' would replace 'is'(as 'scientific information' denotes singular noun). This rectification would make the sentence grammatically and lexically coherent as it conveys the fact 'Scientific information like this does not always hold my attention' adequately.

Answer:

Scientific information like this does not alway hold my attention.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your entry didn't specify what needed to be done, so I guess it's a correction. We use the auxiliary do for present states or facts, in this case it is does because "scientific information" refers to the pronoun "it" which is third persons (he, she, it)... and we add -es to the auxiliary, so this is why we use "does" and not "do" here. The verb to be-is didn't need to be there.
