答案解析：
1. comfortably→comfortable.
2. careful→carefully.“protected”是过去分词作为形容词性动词，前面应该使用副词修饰。
3. cowardice→cowardly.“cowardice”是名词，表示“怯懦”。
4. complete→completely.“be absorbed in sth.”表示“全神贯注”的意思，该结构中“absorbed”是形容词，所以前面应该用副词修饰。
5. relative→relatively.在该句中，“relative”并不是作为形容词修饰后半句主语名词few，而是作为整个句子的状语，表示“相对而言的”。
6. culture→cultural.
7. enthusiastic→enthusiasm.“enthusiasm”是名词。
8. lonely→alone.
9. constantly→constant.“constantly”是副词，表示“经常的”。
10. uncomfortably→uncomfortable.当make后面接某人时，后面一般接形容词作为宾语补主语。
1. and后加did.该句中虽然三部分是并列结构，但是所使用动词都不同，因此odd jobs也应该使用动词，而通常表示“干工作”使用动词do，又因原句中时态为过去时，故用did.
2. as后加on.这样“on the practical use you can put it to” 与前面的“on its inherent interests”保持对称，共同接在动词depend后面。
3. 删去is.
4. go→going.
5. great→greater.
6. probe→probing.
7. as→than.
8. being→were.
9. time后加was.
10. called后加it.
