(1) interesting/interested, exciting/excited との関係と同じ。


「興奮しています」で、I'm exciting. はよく日本人がやる間違い。
逆に、2 storm は horrified ではない。

(2) 4は単に文字通り、見つけられなかったというだけのこと。
2 は succeeded in finding ... であるべき。

(3) アメリカ英語では just +過去形で現在完了の代わりになりますが、
1 が誤りには違いないでしょう。
I'm running out of time. がいいように思いますが。

(4) be/get used to の to は前置詞、used to の後は原形。
2 は used to dream

(5) broken up は転記ミスだとして、
3 は普通なら between the two countries かな。
