Answer 1

1.去掉are
cater to "迎合，满足需要或要求",
是动词短语作谓动,且时态为一般现在时,
因此前面不需要be动词.

2.两种改法: (1)在different前加上is。 或(2)将different改为动词differs .
因为此句缺少谓动.而different是形容词,不能直接作谓语,要么将different改为动词differs，
要么在前面加上be动词,构成“系表”结构的谓语部分。结合本句的主语可知,此处应加上is.

3.worrying--worries
how we look是主语从句作主语； when we are in our teens是时间状语从句；
那么动词are只是从句的谓动；而主句how we look probably worrying us more 中没有谓语动词。
worrying是分词形式，不能作谓动，因此应将其改为worries来做谓语动词。

4.将and改为but：根据句意可知此处表示转折关系，故将and改为but。
句意：意识到他没有足够的钱但又不想从他父亲那儿借，因此他决定卖了那块手表。

5.去掉to
因为where是副词,副词前是不用介词的，如：go home/there, 因此，belong to中的to要去掉。
又如： Keep your eyes where they belong if you don't want to be beaten.
要想不挨揍眼睛就别乱看.

追问

亲 第四个 答案上 是把 wanted 改成 wanting ~~你觉得怎么理解？

追答

那我那个答案错了. 对不起啊! 还要谢谢你, 让我又多学到了一个知识点:

wanted 改成 wanting , 是因为它与realizing 为并列关系, 都是句子的主语发出的动作,

因此都用现在分词来作原因状语, 说明he decided to sell his watch的原因.

不同的是: realizing 后接的是宾从,而wanting后接的是不定式作宾语.

句意: 意识到他没有足够的钱并且又不想从他父亲那儿借，因此他决定卖了那块手表。

Answer 2

这是改几个词啊？
我就挑最简单第五个的吧，这个应该把to去掉，因为where就代表一个介词加where，to就多余了。我一直这样理解的
