參考答案及解析:

1 將had used 改為 used。

因為此句是虛擬語氣，表示與現在事實相反，故條件從句中應使用一般過去時。例如：

Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成為聰明人-如果他們不自以為聰明的話。

2 將publishing改為published

report和publish時邏輯動賓關系，故應使用publish的過去分詞短語來修飾report。例如：

Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發現，不管多么微不足道，都將成為知識寶庫中的一部分。

3 將theirs改為their

4 將among改為between

在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時間，故用between。

5 將過去分詞excluded改為介詞excluding。

excluding意為“不包括…”

6 將respectably改為respectively

respectively 意為 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意為 “可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。

7將evidences改為evidence。

evidence是不可數名詞。

8將ill改為illness。

9將year改為years。

10將lesser改為less
