参考答案及解析:
1．quietly -> quiet
lie这里表示“处于某种状态”，当lie表示此意时，它是系动词，后跟形容词。
2. wide -> widely
3. invent -> invention
Invent是动词，此处需要一个名词作led to的宾语。
4. essential -> essentially
5. important -> importance
Take on后面应该使用名词作宾语。
6. entire -> entirely
此处要用entire的副词形式修饰形容词different，意为“完全不同的”。
7. face -> facial
此处指“面部特征”，应该用face的形容词修饰features。
8. regularly -> regular
此处regular与fedual并列修饰system，而不是regular修饰fedual。
9. hungrily -> hungry
本题hungry指的是people所处的状态，表示“他们饿着肚子上床睡觉”。
10. possibly -> possible
此处的possible作补语，修饰international live transmission of important events。正常语序应该是make international live transmission of important events possible.这里为了保持句子平衡，将宾语后置。
