答案及解析:
) J( _' {5 }+ r# Q& B- m1. of -%26gt; /
本行中only have oneselve to blame为习惯用法，意为“只能怪自己”。由本行后半部分的because of 后是一个完整的句子可确定because of 中的of 应删掉，因为because of相当于一介词，后面只能接名词或动名词。而because后接的应该是句子。
0 _% [- r: Y, e, b% n( m
2. is -%26gt; are
That引导定语从句，修饰clothes，因为此处clothes为复数，所以从句的谓语动词也要用复数形式。
- F1 i" J8 ?/ }) g: z6 Y
3. taking -%26gt; taken
4 Y* Z) m7 c% y4 L8 L# Z% f: c本句前半部分是由because引导的原因状语从句，主句为逗号后的they are ….designers；take advantage of sb意为“利用某人，占某人便宜”，根据by the designers 可知，此处是在讲女性被服装设计师所利用。

4. announced -%26gt; announcing
capable of后standing ….and …为其并列的宾语，故将announced 改为announcing
; v- Q- m$ I6 g$ f6 k: q/ g8 k6 ~
, R; D' J: B7 N* O( f; O9 E5. anything -%26gt; nothing
  q4 V' z& Y7 S( X. q由该句中creation of waste可判断，本句在表达否定或消极意见，而anything本身并没有否定意义。Nothing more than和no more than的意思和用法相近，意为“不过，仅仅”，故将anything改为nothing。

6. cannot前加who 或that
cannot afford和waste均为动词，中间没有连词及waste所在行没有错误，由此可确定waste是该句的谓语，那么cannot afford就是定语从句的谓语。定语从句中，当现行词为人时，一般用who或that来引导定语从句。

7. usually -%26gt; rarely
contribute…for…意为“为…贡献出…”，后接贡献的对象，类似的用法还有contribute…to / towards…；usually“常常，经常”，与上句NO one…for society和下句they are only interested in…look right在语意上矛盾，故将usually改为rarely。

8. which -%26gt; that
Tthe fact是抽象名词，后常接同位语从句，which不能引导同位语从句，只有that才能。
8 m! ]9 Z3 ~. }  Y( V8 U
+ k% Y3 H8 r% r9. picked -%26gt; picking
上一行中的or使其前后形成并列，故前后动词形式要保持一致（与shaking保持一致）。
, P  F: H# _! p9 B1 A. x
10. reflects -%26gt; reflect
本句为助动词do置于句首的一半疑问句，谓语应为动词原形；one wonders在此作插入语，是修饰成分，不与reflect形成并列或转折关系。
