答案解析：

1. Call→Calling/To call。本句主语是一个动词短语，但是动词短语做主语时，其中的动词只能用作动名词或不定式的形式，因而把Call改成Calling或To call。

 

2. not∧，to。该句中后半部分实际上和“to make it easier”同为表语成分，结构相同，为和前面保持一致，此处也应该使用不定式结构。

3. 删去being。只有当句中出现表示现在的时间状语时，才会用现在分词的被动式来做定于修饰名词，而原句中未出现表示现在时的时间状语成分，故应该将being删去。

4. depend→depending。英语里，一个句子不能在没有任何连接手段的情况下，同时使用两个并列的谓语动词，所以错在depend，应改为现在分词depending形式。

5. Guiding→Guided。该句中，过去分词做原因状语，相当于原因状语从句Because he was guided，意为“因为受……引导”。

6. are→is。该句中，主语成分为“The child”，所以谓语应该使用单数形式。

7. is→are。该句为一个倒装句，真正的主语成分是“3 groups of young pioneers”，故谓语动词应该使用复数形式。

8. were→was。该句中，定语从句引导词“that”指代前文中的“The book”故该从句中的谓语应该为单数形式。

9. are→is。在“there + be +doing”结构中，谓语动词使用单数形式。

10. have→has。名词性从句做主语谓语动词一般做单数对待。

S1.在much和the way间插入to

S2.what→where

S3.which→that

S4.original→origin

S5.system→systems

S6.by→in

S7.it→them

S8.efficient→inefficient

S9.facilitates→facilitate

S10.possibly→possible
