【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍美国著名的作家Mark Twain。

1.writer---writers 句意：最著名的美国作家之一。故把writer---writers。

2.去掉who Mark Twain,是句子的主语，one of the best-known American writer是主语的同位语，句中只有一个谓语动词，不存在定语从句，故去掉who。

3.lie---lies 句意：他的家乡位于密西西比河岸。此处用一般现在时态，主语是第三人称单数形式，故把lie---lies。

4.there---where 在句中the banks of the Mississippi River是先行词，在定语从句中做地点状语，故把there---where。

5.like---as 固定搭配：work as 充当，担任。故把like---as。

6.is---was 因为讲的是过去的事情，应该用一般过去时态，故把is---was。

7.measure---measuring 句意：测量水深的水手。表示主动，现在分词作定语，故把measure---measuring。

8.but---and 句意：他写了很多小说，其中一本是The Adventures of Tom Sawyer。此处是递进的并列关系，故把but---and。

9.have加上been translated 句意：很多文章已经被翻译成了多种语言。此处是现在完成时态的被动语态。故have加上been translated。

10.deep---deeply 句意：他和他的作品深深地被喜爱。故把deep---deeply。
