  答案及解析:

  1.companying-accompanying

  动词accompany和名词company不要混淆。

  company是名词,除了“公司”的意思之外,还有“陪伴,伙伴”的意思。比如:Keep somebody company(陪伴某人),have no company(没有伙伴)。accompany作为动词“陪伴”的意思,如:accompany somebody on a trip。

  2.has-had

  这里讲的是1881年的地震,应该用过去时态。

  3.were-are

  虽然主句是过去时态,但是because从句中讲的是没有时间限制的一般道理,不因为时间的改变而改变,所以应该用现在时态。

  4.earthquake-earthquakes

  这里说的是1819和1845年的两次地震,所以对应的名词应该是复数形式。

  5.^sea-the

  sea 前通常要带定冠词,这属于习惯用法。另外,表示具体的海洋,江河等名词前通常也有定冠词。

  6.in-from

  result in 和result from的区别是:前者介词in后面跟结果,后者介词from后面跟原因。从上下文来看,是说地震引起海浪,所以应该用from。

  7.adjacent^-to

  形容词adjacent可以直接放在名词前做定语,例如:an adjacent city(一个临近的城市)。但是如果做后置定语就要和介词to搭配,例如: a city adjacent to Shanghai。

  8.considerate-considerable

  considerate意思为 “体贴的,周到的”,considerable意思是“相当大的,相当多的”。(这个词在57期也刚改过的,现在完全记住了吧^_^)

  9.and-but

  前文说12到15米高的海啸给Ormara和Pasi两个地方带来了很大的损失,而Combay海湾的海啸有15米高,却没有灾难记录。从前后句的逻辑关系来看,二者是对比转折,所以应该用but。

  10.whcih-where

  先行词是Mumbai,在非限制性关系分句中做地点状语,所以应该用关系副词where引导。
