答案
【答案】
1. 将 affect 改为 effect
affect是动词。effect是名词。
2. 将 suggests 改为 suggesting
这是一个以while引导的从句,其中suggest应该与capturing并列。
3. 在 fact 后面加上 that
因为引导同位语从句的关系词不可以省略。
4. 将 their 改为 its
这里its指代单数名词caricature
5. 将 century 改为复数形式
6. 将 was 省略
appear是不及物动词,不应用于被动语态。
7. 将 his 改为 their
这里指代复数名词 the caricaturists
8. 将 primary 改为 primarily
primarily在这里做状语,修饰不定式短语
9. 将 close 改为比较级形式 closer
从后面的连词than,可以看出,这里使用了比较状语从句
10. 将 amusing 改为 amused
主语subject(受攻击的人)和amuse的逻辑关系是动宾关系,应使用过去分词形式。
