By 1971, most of the states also adopted the new dates. __10__

　　参考答案及解析:

　　1.strict改为strictly

　　2.holiday改为holidays

　　因为原句的谓语动词为复数are，所以holiday必须使用复数。另外no后面可以用复数也可以用单数。

　　3.which前面加上on

　　因为先行词the day在关系从句钟做状语，还原回去应为：each holiday is celebrated on the day，所以必须加on。

　　4.obsevation改为observance

　　observation意思为“观察，观测”，observance则表示“遵守，庆祝”。

　　5.Independent改为Independence

　　独立日的说法是“Independence Day”。

　　6.apart改为aside

　　set apart 指“使分离，使分开”，语义不同，set aside表示“留出，保留”的意思。

　　7.at改为in

　　8.begun改为beginning

　　动词begin和分句的主语federal employees的关系是主动的，应此要用beginning。

　　9.three-days 改为three-day

　　用连字符连接起来的表示数量的名词的前置修饰语的复数概念仍然是单数，如：

　　a million-pound banknote。

　　10.also前面加had

　　如果一个句子里面有by引导的时间状语从句则动词一般用完成体。
