1. 在write前加to 因为ask后须接不定式作宾语补 足语。 2. Provide →provides 主语是第三人称单数，故 谓语动词也要用单数。 3. the →a 固定短语a wide variety of意为“多种多 样的”。 4. availability →available 此处显然是个形容词短 语作后置定语，故应用形容词形式。 5. detail → details 根据前面的are可知要用复数 形式。

6. were → are 根据上下文语境可知用一般现 在时即可。
7. anything →something 肯定句中用 something。 8. at →on 固定短语focus on意为“集中于、重 点关注”。
9. 去掉made up前的which 分析句子成分可知， 此处直接可以用过去分词短语made up by…作 后置定语，which完全是多余的。 10. finished →finish 情态动词后接动词原形。
