答案及解析(反白可見):
ying-accompanying
動詞accompany和名詞company不要混淆。
company是名詞，除了“公司”的意思之外，還有“陪伴，伙伴”的意思。比如：Keepsomebody company（陪伴某人），have no company（沒有伙伴）。accompany作為動詞“陪伴”的意思，如：accompany somebody on a trip。
-had
這里講的是1881年的地震，應該用過去時態(tài)。
-are
雖然主句是過去時態(tài)，但是because從句中講的是沒有時間限制的一般道理，不因為時間的改變而改變，所以應該用現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。
uake-earthquakes
這里說的是1819和1845年的兩次地震，所以對應的名詞應該是復數(shù)形式。
5.^sea-the
sea 前通常要帶定冠詞，這屬于習慣用法。另外，表示具體的海洋，江河等名詞前通常也有定冠詞。
-from
result in 和result from的區(qū)別是：前者介詞in后面跟結果，后者介詞from后面跟原因。從上下文來看，是說地震引起海浪，所以應該用from。
nt^-to
形容詞adjacent可以直接放在名詞前做定語，例如：an adjacent city（一個臨近的城市）。但是如果做后置定語就要和介詞to搭配，例如： a city adjacent to Shanghai。
erate-considerable
considerate意思為 “體貼的，周到的”，considerable意思是“相當大的，相當多的”。
-but
前文說12到15米高的海嘯給Ormara和Pasi兩個地方帶來了很大的損失，而Combay海灣的海嘯有15米高，卻沒有災難記錄。從前后句的邏輯關系來看，二者是對比轉折，所以應該用but。
-where
先行詞是Mumbai，在非限制性關系分句中做地點狀語，所以應該用關系副詞where引導。?
