10. themselves→for themselves，for oneself（独自地）是词组。 10

10. the→a，a second…表示“又一…；再一…”的意思。 11

7. Seeing→Seen，see的动作与主句的主语they是动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语。 8. looked→look，全文动作都是现在时态。

9. he→they，前后的指代要一致。

10. most favorite→favorite，favorite(最喜欢的)是没有最高级。 15

4. sell→selling，这里的appear系动词，appear selling是实行时。 5. can→could，与前面一样，该用过去时。

6. everyone→everyone was，此处是过去实行时，结构不完整。 7. a life→life, come to life(醒过来)是固定词组。 8.准确。

9. it→there，只能说there was an announcement。

10. which→that，此处的连接词是引导同位语从句，所以只能用that。 16
