Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1、  why→when。因为宾语从句缺少时间状语，因此用when引导。 2．has→ was。这里用的是被动语态。 1．  √ 2．  dying→ dead。修饰名词用形容词即可，表示“死了的身体”。 3．  were→was。动名词作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。 4．  ∧(if) a person。If引导条件状语从句。 5．  去掉 the。Put sb. into prison，将某人关进监狱。 6．  road → roads。因为前面有one of，因此后面要用复数形式。 9．especially → specially。意思是专门修建的。 10． from ∧(being)。From后面跟的是被动语态的动名词形式。
