解析:①作主语应该用名词形式。
②后面的“will you and your homeland deserve” 是倒装结构,本句型中只有用only修饰状语从句,后面的主句才用倒装。
③理解句意可知,本空应该指参与竞赛的人。
④介词后面用动名词作宾语。
⑤现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰magical power。
⑥不定式作后置定语,被修饰词event是hold 动作的承受者,故用不定式的被动形式。

⑧连词that引导宾语从句,该从句中还有主语从句,从句中及物动词do后面缺少宾语,故用连接代词作其宾语,表示该做的事情。
⑨固定短语 one after another“一个接一个”。
⑩形容词作表语,表示这么做是愚蠢的。
