Объяснение:

1. In line 2, instead of "enchanted," it should be "enchanting."
Explanation: The word "enchanted" is the past tense of the verb "enchant," but in this context, we are describing the tourists' feelings at the present moment. Therefore, we need to use the present participle form of the verb, which is "enchanting."

2. In line 3, instead of "appeals," it should be "does the idea appeal."
Explanation: The phrase "does the idea appeal" is in the correct form of a question. We use the auxiliary verb "does" before the subject "the idea" to form an interrogative sentence.

3. In line 5, instead of "hearing," it should be "hear."
Explanation: The verb "hear" is in the present simple tense, while the word "hearing" is the present participle form. In this context, we want to use the simple present tense to describe a regular activity or state, so "hear" is the correct form.

4. In line 7, instead of "lying," it should be "lies."
Explanation: The verb "lies" is in the present simple tense, while the word "lying" is the present participle form. In this context, we are describing the location of the turquoise sea, so we need to use the simple present tense.

5. In line 10, instead of "develop," it should be "are developing."
Explanation: The verb "are developing" is in the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking. In this context, the complex of luxury apartments is currently being built, so the continuous tense is more appropriate.

6. In line 15, instead of "sweep," it should be "sweeps."
Explanation: The verb "sweeps" is in the present simple tense, while the word "sweep" is the base form of the verb. In this context, we are describing the continuous action of the bay sheltering the beach, so we need to use the simple present tense.

7. In line 17, instead of "build," it should be "built."
Explanation: The verb "built" is in the past simple tense, while the word "build" is the base form of the verb. In this context, we are describing the action of local developers in the past, so the past tense is more appropriate.

8. In line 19, instead of "completed," it should be "have completed."
Explanation: The phrase "have completed" is in the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that happened in the past but has a connection to the present. In this context, we are referring to the completion of the apartment in relation to the ongoing event of showing prospective purchasers, so the present perfect tense is needed.

9. In line 21, instead of "take," it should be "take part."
Explanation: The phrase "take part" is the correct formulation to indicate participation in an offer or an event. The word "take" alone does not convey the intended meaning.

To summarize:
2 - enchanting
3 - does the idea appeal
5 - hear
7 - lies
10 - are developing
15 - sweeps
17 - built
19 - have completed
21 - take part
