Turkish translation:factual mistake in the text:
Explanation:
ramadan (ramazan in turkish) is a period preceding a holiday, which in turn is called "ramazan bayramı"=ramazan holiday

bajram, is "bayram" in turkish, and means holiday

the two important muslim holidays are the holidays of ramazan and kurban (sacrifices), so the statement itself should correct, which would be in turkish:

İslamiyet'in iki önemli bayramı olan Ramazan ve Kurban bayramları da kutlanır.

Sorry, Jolene, but this seems like the *whole* of the homework/test; therefore, I feel that I should stop answering from this point on. Good luck!
