参考答案及解析:
1 将and 改为 or
or表示“或者”，因为前后是两种截然不同的可能性，所以应该用or。
2 将most改为 more
3 将few改为little
4 将involve 改为 involves
因为主语 the matter 为单数，例如：
Although planning involves material investment, even more important is theinvestment in man.
虽然作机会应该包括物资投资，但最重要的是对人的投资。
5 在returning后加介词to
6 将suffer改为afford
7 去掉be。
vary是动词，可与助动词或者情态动词构成谓语，也可以独立构成谓语，例如：
The weather varies from hour to hour in some mountain districts.
8 去掉the
in essence 是固定习语，意为“本质上，实质的"
9 将do改为 does
主语是动名词复合结构 a nation planning its resources and needs, 应视为单数，例如：
Looking after children requires patience.
10 将improperly改为 properly.
