参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
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”。
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。
