Epub validation problems..

First of all, sorry for posting this - you must get billions of questions like this everyday.

I've finished my ebook, I wrote it in word, converted it to epub, and did a bit of editing (in book view) in Sigil. I wanted to upload the book to Lulu, but it said that it had errors, so I went away and ran it through the threepress epub validator, which said:

ERROR: tumblingtales.epub/OEBPS/content.opf(8): unfinished element
ERROR: tumblingtales.epub/OEBPS/Text/Section0024.xhtml(48): attribute "type" not allowed at this point; ignored
ERROR: tumblingtales.epub/OEBPS/Text/tmp0.html(38): attribute "type" not allowed at this point; ignored
Check finished with warnings or errors!

I have absolutely no conception of what any of that means, so in an attempt to make it clearer I did a bit of research on the internet, and I read that FlightCrew gave error messages out in a clearer way, so I tried that, and got:

Line 3 - the language element is missing
Line 48 - attribute element is not declared for element "div"
Line 38 - attribute element is not declared for element "div"

That seems to make a bit more sense to me, but I really have no clue whatsoever about anything like this..if anyone could offer some advise on how to fix/make this better I really would be very, very grateful?
