The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet was named delta. Its sign was a triangle - a three-sided figure. Today the word delta means the triangular group of islands at the mouth of a river.

Deltas are formed by the rivers themselves. Large rivers may carry sand and fine soil as they sweep towards their mouths. Near their outlets, rivers usually slow, and can less easily carry their burdens. Sand and silt are dropped when rivers enter a lerger body of water.

Not all rivers form deltas. Ocean currents may be strong enough to sweep the river water away before sand and silt are deposited. Or the deposits may themselves be swept away.

The fertile soil of the Nile delta has made it famous. Man's history in this delta dates back for thousands of years.

2 brothers brother (the baby brother ... was large and plump. Vậy chủ ngữ này là chủ ngữ số ít)
3 hips hip
4 house House (Grand House là tên riêng có hai thành phần, phải viết hoa cả hai)
5 works workes (phù hợp thời với các động từ khác trong văn cảnh)
6 time times ("time" là danh từ không đếm được, có nghĩa là "thời gian ". Nhưng trong văn cảnh này "several" là từ chỉ số lượng, cho nên đi sau nó là một danh từ đếm được.
Vậy "times" ở đây có nghĩa là số lần)

7 walking walk (her + danh từ)
8 comfort comfortable ("comfort" không thể đứng làm tính từ bổ nghĩa cho "position" được, vì nó là danh từ. Tính từ có nghĩa tương đương là "comfortable")
9 held holding ("He was held" có nghĩa là nó bị túm chặt lấy. Nghĩa này không đúng với văn cảnh. Nghĩa trong câu này là thằng bé nắm một chiếc bánh quy trong tay : câu chủ động : He was holding ...)

8. confident
9. farming (tính từ bổ nghĩa cho "area")

Phần II

5. but
