答案及解析:
1. wonder -%26gt; wondering
while 此处表转折，others worry与Some feel pride相对，表示不同的两种态度;逗号后的wonder…good fathers是对worry的具体阐述，为修饰部分，二者是从属关系。现在分词可以作状语，表示伴随情况、陪衬动作、附加说明以及表示时间、原因、条件等。故将wonder改为wondering。
2. but -%26gt; /
在让步状语从句中，although/though和but不能同时运用，二者只能保留其一。所以将but去掉。
3. being -%26gt; been
4. what -%26gt; which / that
此处what引导的从句中缺宾语，what引导从句时相当于the thing which/ that，在此，the thing是accident，因此确定what用错了。定语从句中，先行词为物时，从句由which或that来引导。
5. What -%26gt; Whatever
此处Whatever引导让步状语从句。
6. unfortunate -%26gt; unfortunately
Unfortunate为形容词，不能衔接句子。一些副词可独立成句，置于句中火句尾，起强调、转折或解释作用，如ultimately/evidently/obviously等。
7. have -%26gt; has
only置于句首修饰状语时，句子要部分倒装，故have提前。本句的主语是literature，主谓在数上应保持一致，故将have改为has。
8. for -%26gt; to
transition to为固定搭配，意为“向…转变”。
9. as -%26gt; though
由however和even可推断，该句含有转折意味，而as只表示原因、时间、和伴随，且很少与even搭配。even though为固定搭配，意为“虽然，尽管”，可以引导让步状语从句，表示转折。
10. the 前加as
breadwinner意为“挣钱养家的人”;be thought as为固定用法，意为“被看作是…”。
