Answer

【解析】

本文为记叙文，文章叙述了在18世纪的美国当时都认为西红柿是可观赏的有毒食物，但是了解西红柿情况的总统用来招待了他的客人，结果客人都说西红柿是很好吃的。

第一处为固定短语错误，是一种用a kind of。

第二处为名词单复数错误，one of 后加名词复数plants。

第三处为时态错误，根据时间状语in the 18th century，可知用一般过去时，所以用ate。

第四处为连词错误，because of 要加短语，because加句子，此处后面为句子，所以用because。

第五处为副词错误，but为连词，连接两句话，而此处为一句话表转折关系，用however。

第六处为非谓语错误。此处表示有知识的人用learned，表完成意义。

第七处为定语从句的连词错误，此处先行词为Paris，从句缺地点状语，要用关系副词where。

第八处为代词错误，根据语境可知他在自己的花园里种了一些西红柿，他的用his。

第九处为形容词副词错用，尝起来好用taste good，taste 做系动词，要加形容词做表语。

第十处为介词错误。跟某人说用speak to。
