Answer 1

76．the a。on a bus意为“乘汽车”，此处非特指乘哪一辆汽车。

77．she they。they与前句的citizens一致。

78．and to或buy改为bought。改成目的状语或使bought和went平行。

79．√。

80．age后加上of。表示年龄。

81．And But。逻辑上为转折。

82．older old。此处无比较的语境，而且前面是副词very。

83．去掉that。notice sb. doing sth.为固定结构。

84．Not Don’t或Not ― Never。祈使句的否定式为don’t或never加动词原形。

85．give前加上to。forget后接不定式to do sth. 作宾语。
