Answer 1

答案：略
解析：

(1)pay后加for pay for sth.是固定短語。 (2)till改為if 由上下文邏輯可知，till處應(yīng)表示條件。 (3)comfortable改為comfortably 修飾動詞live要用副詞。 (4)they改為he 從句的主語與主句的主語人稱要一致。 (5)that改為as 表示“如同……一樣”，用as。 (6)去掉第二個the go to prison表示“坐牢”。原句中的第二個the多余。 (7)therefore→ however 上下文表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，用hwoever。 (8)better改為good 依據(jù)上下文邏輯須用原級形式。 (9)去掉to see為感官動詞，其后跟不帶to的不定式。 (10)√ 該行無錯誤。
