Хоть как-то само это задание было сформулировано? Что за тайны? Не определиться бы для начала, строим мы мост вдоль реки или поперёк?

Это откуда текст взят?? Учебник сжечь на.

У Вас некоторые проблемы с артиклями, обратите внимание (an excitement, a dollar diplomacy, a descendant и т.п.)

А синонимы можно посмотреть в любом тезаурусе, например, в Ворде или на http://www.hyperdictionary.com/

формулировка задания : Find Equivalents or Variants. И никак комментариев больше (возможности спросить нет), поэтому я и сама не знаю, что конкретно нужно. Во многих предложения слова повторяются, поэтому, может быть, требуется подобрать синонимы, но это только мои догадки.

Всем большое спасибо.
