1.   Some health problems are caused by our sedative lifestyles.(x)
      Some health problems are caused by our sedentary lifestyles.(√)

sedative作名词时,是“镇静剂”之意。sedentary是形容词,表“久坐不动的”,如:sedentary life / job / lifestyle就是“久坐不动的生活/工作/生活方式”。

2.   Only a selective few companies are allowed to compete for the contract. (x)
      Only a select few companies are allowed to compete for the contract. (√)

selective表“慎选的”,如:We are very selective about what we wear.(对于所穿的衣物我们都很慎选。)a select few表“少数的几个人/物”,是固定用法。

3.   Getting the job has increased my confidence, and I feel much more self-conscious.(x)
      Getting the job has increased my confidence, and I feel much more self-aware.(√)

self-conscious表对某事物“‘忸怩不安”或“特别在意”,如:He is pretty self-conscious about being short.(他对自己的个子矮小相当在意。)self-aware表“认清自己的”。

4.   This car's main sale point is its installment plan.(x)
      This car's main selling point is its installment plan.(√)

a selling point是让人心动想买的“一个卖点”,为固定用法。另外,a selling price是货物卖出去的“售价”。

5.   I hope your brother will come to his sense and stop fooling around. (x)
      I hope your brother will come to his senses and stop fooling around.(√)

表“感觉/官”时,sense是可数名词,如:Everyone likes to create a sense of occasion at Christmas.(在圣诞节时大家都想营造出一种节庆的气氛/感觉。)come to your senses 表“醒悟”,是固定用法。表“理性/道理”时,sense是不可数名词,如:It makes sense to save money for a rainy day.(存钱以备不时之需是明智的。)

6.   Coral is very sensible to changes in water temperature. (x)

      There is no place for sentiment when you make an investment.(√)

指某人的“想法/态度”时,sentiment兼有可数和不可数名词的用法,如:It was a speech full of noble sentiments.(这是一篇充满崇高理念的演讲。)或如:We should take account of popular sentiment.(我们应当考虑到一般大众的想法·)但是表“感情用事”时,sentiment恒为不可数名词,其意义和用法相当于sentimentality这个词.

8.   The doctor is suspected of series killings.(x)
      The doctor is suspected of serial killings.(√)

指“连续性的节目/故事”时,series差不多等于:erial.不过:eries强调的是同一组人物的故事在固定的时段播出/连载,serial则较不受限制。但serial可作形容词用,表“连续的”,如:serial killings / murders,而senes不能作形容词。
