"If spiders their cobwebs forsake , the weather will for certain break ." "If frogs remained in pools , the weather will be fine . If they were seen on rocks, __10__rain and cold were due." It's difficult to say whether this rhyme should be taken seriously : " Hark , I hear the asses bray . Me thinks we'll have some rain today .

答案及解析:

1.While—When或After

本句的this指代的是to change the weather by using magic. when/after 引导时间状语

2.in—than

earlier是early的比较级，其后应有than

3.those之后加who

who引导定语从句

4. 删除advance前的the

in advance为习语

5. take—have

have connection with 为习语

6. controlled—controlling或在controlled前加that/which

controlling the weather 或that/which controlled the weather做定语修饰the actual factors

7. and—or

rain和draught只能是二者之一

8. 删除is

与上文平衡，均为省略句

9. before—when/if

条件句

10. will—would

if引导的是条件句用的是remained一般过去时
