    參考答案及解析:
    1. include -> including
    2. compose -> composed / comprised
    此出的意思是“由…組成”,固定搭配有be composed / comprised of,be made up of,consist of。
    3. object -> objects
    Object是可是名詞,一般說來可數(shù)名詞以單數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)時(shí)要有不定代詞或冠詞修飾,而在此沒有任何冠詞,而且上下文對(duì)應(yīng)的均使用了復(fù)數(shù)形式,所以應(yīng)該把object改為復(fù)數(shù)。
    4. or -> and
    此處是固定搭配both…and…。
    5. individual后加who / that
    這句話出現(xiàn)了兩個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞,在英語中不符合語法規(guī)范。從上下文可以看出individual后面的部分是修飾individual的定語從句,缺少了引導(dǎo)詞,所以應(yīng)該加上who或that。
    6. unfamiliar -> familiar
    根據(jù)常識(shí),“文化人”應(yīng)該是“熟悉藝術(shù)、音樂…”的人,因此把否定改為肯定。
    7. of -> /
    表示原因時(shí),because后跟從句,because of后跟名詞性質(zhì)的詞或詞組。此處是從句,所以把of去掉。
    8. essentially -> essential
    be后面的表語不能用副詞。
    9. laugh -> laughs
    此處的smile和laugh是并列成分,作定語從句修飾person,又因?yàn)橄刃性~person是單數(shù),所以從句的謂語也要用單數(shù)。
    10. by -> with
    此處是固定搭配supply sb with sth
