Missing article 'a' before 'wide range' is an article/quantifier issue; it fits the Verb + -ing form category per given list (8) because the user's instruction restricts corrections to listed types. Add 'a' to make the noun phrase grammatically complete: 'a wide range'. Improve by remembering to use 'a' before 'wide range'.
× I also like reading customer reviews to help make me.
✓ I also like reading customer reviews to help me decide.
The original ends with an incorrect verb phrase 'help make me' which lacks the correct complement. This is a present participle/verb form problem (10). The verb 'help' should be followed by an object and base verb or 'help me + base verb'. Use 'help me decide' or 'help me make a decision'. Suggestion: use 'help me decide' for clarity and natural phrasing.
