The ability to communicate is the primary factor that distinguish human

【解析與參考答案】
1. 將 which改為that。這裡的句型是強調句“it is…… that……”;
2. 將 thus改為as或者because。後一小句是原因，不是結果。
3. 去掉how。“the way”後可以直接用狀語從句。“how”已經有“the way of”的語法意義，
相當於“in a way or manner”.
4. 在 the more前面加上連線詞 and。兩個小句之間缺少表示承接關係的連線詞。
5. 將 specially改為especially。這句插入語是表示特別列舉，副詞當然用especially.
6. 將 dominated改為dominating。這樣-ing分詞形式和 question的.邏輯關係才對。
7. make改為 have或者 deliver。“have / deliver sessions”指上課、開會等，搭配合理。
8. ability前面加定冠詞 the，以此表示定指。
9. 兩種改法。 (1)將specialized 改為specialize。 (2)在who和 specialized之間加上系動詞
are。我個人覺得第一種改法更自然些。
10. 將 problems改為problem。“look into the problem”是使用頻率高的搭配(根據語料庫檢
索) ，這一句中的“in the manner of doing”語義上也合適，有同學可能改為“in a manner
of doing” ;但英語的實際使用中常見的是“in a manner of speaking”，很少有其他形式。
