　　參考答案及解析:

　　1 將and 改為 or

　　or表示“或者”，因為前后是兩種截然不同的可能性，所以應該用or。

　　2 將most改為 more

　　3 將few改為little

　　4 將involve 改為 involves

　　因為主語 the matter 為單數(shù)，例如：

　　Although planning involves material investment, even more important is theinvestment in man.

　　雖然作機會應該包括物資投資，但最重要的是對人的投資。

　　5 在returning后加介詞to

　　6 將suffer改為afford

　　7 去掉be。

　　vary是動詞，可與助動詞或者情態(tài)動詞構(gòu)成謂語，也可以獨立構(gòu)成謂語，例如：

　　The weather varies from hour to hour in some mountain districts.

　　8 去掉the

　　in essence 是固定習語，意為“本質(zhì)上，實質(zhì)的"

　　9 將do改為 does

　　主語是動名詞復合結(jié)構(gòu) a nation planning its resources and needs, 應視為單數(shù)，例如：

　　Looking after children requires patience.

　　10 將improperly改為 properly.
