答案及解析: 1. of -> / 本行中only have oneselve to blame为习惯用法，意为“只能怪自己”。由本行后半部分的because of 后是一个完整的句子可确定because of 中的of 应删掉，因为because of相当于一介词，后面只能接名词或动名词。而because后接的应该是句子。
2. is -> are That引导定语从句，修饰clothes，因为此处clothes为复数，所以从句的谓语动词也要用复数形式。
3. taking -> taken 本句前半部分是由because引导的原因状语从句，主句为逗号后的they are ….designers；take advantage of sb意为“利用某人，占某人便宜”，根据by the designers 可知，此处是在讲女性被服装设计师所利用。
4. announced -> announcing capable of后standing ….and …为其并列的宾语，故将announced 改为announcing
5. anything -> nothing 由该句中creation of waste可判断，本句在表达否定或消极意见，而anything本身并没有否定意义。Nothing more than和no more than的意思和用法相近，意为“不过，仅仅”，故将anything改为nothing。
7. usually -> rarely contribute…for…意为“为…贡献出…”，后接贡献的对象，类似的用法还有contribute…to / towards…；usually“常常，经常”，与上句NO one…for society和下句they are only interested in…look right在语意上矛盾，故将usually改为rarely。
8. which -> that Tthe fact是抽象名词，后常接同位语从句，which不能引导同位语从句，只有that才能。
