Answer 1

1、expect的意思是希望，盼望。expect sb to do sth和come to do sth 是固定搭配。所以选A。
翻译：那个年老的国王大声哭泣并求救，盼望谁能到他的。。（这个单词我没看懂，）
2、offer用法：

及物动词 vt.
1.给予,提供;拿出,出示[O1][(+to)]
He offered me a glass of wine.
他端给我一杯酒。
2.愿意;试图(做某事);提议[Y][+to-v]
They offered to help me.
他们表示愿意帮助我。
He offered to lend me some books.
他表示要借给我几本书。
3.出(价);开(价)[O1]
We offered him the calculator for US$50.
这计算器我们向他开价五十美元。
4.贡献;奉献

不及物动词 vi.
1.提议
2.(机会等)出现
She travels whenever the opportunity offers.
她一有机会就去旅行。
3.献祭

名词 n. [C]
1.提供,提议[(+of)][+to-v]
Thank you for your kind offer of help.
感谢你想给予帮助的好意。
2.出价;报价

tend to 虽然也有这个用法，但它的释义是“有。。。。的倾向” 不符本句意思，舍去。
provide to 一般是没有的，只有provide sb with sth。 意思是：给某人提供什么帮助。
supply 不能直接加to 中间要加sb 或sth

希望帮到您。

Answer 2

somebody to do sth. ，come to是固定搭配
offered v. 提供，提议；奉献（offer过去时态）
adj. 提供的，提议的
我为他的数学提供帮助，但他不想浪费我太多时间，就拒绝了我
