16、。两个名词为同义词，但是 fare表示车船费，tuition表示学费。文章中提到学生在博物馆学习的课程是免费的，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 has have 【试题解析】 本题为助动词误用。定语从句的先行词是 schools，从句中的谓语动词根据主谓一致原则，应该使用动词的复数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 short shortage 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。表示短缺可以用名词短语 a shortage of sth，或者形容词短语 be short of sth。本句词性混淆。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 some any 【试题解析】
