答案和解析:
1.it--one
it和one用来指代时，it通常用于特指，one通常用于类指。结合上下文，此处应当指代前文的a baby，是类指，所以应当用one。
2.since--while
这里考的是根据上下文的逻辑关系判断连接词的使用。前后两个分句是对比pregnancy和forced pregnancy这两个方面，所以应该选用表示对比的连用词while。
3.out--/
emerge一词后面不要受到中文的影响加上out；但是可以说come out。emerge可以和介词from搭配，表示“从……中浮现出来”。
4.were--are
虽然这一句从句中是过去时态，但是主句中谈的是“现在”的情况，所以应当用现在时态。
5.^from--into
动词coerce要和介词into搭配。coerce somebody into something，意思是“胁迫某人做某事”。
6.the--/
school 前带定冠词时通常是特指，不带冠词通常是类指。这里说“辍学”，应当是类指，所以不能带定冠词。
7.round--through
get through 的意思是“度过（经济，感情等的）难关”，get round有“说服”的意思，原文是说“客服流畅造成的情感创伤”，应当用get through。
8.her--their
这里的代词是指前文提到的women，所以应该是复数。
9.but (are)--and
从逻辑关系来看，这一句“很高兴有这个选择”和前文“没有遗憾、不后悔”是一致的、并列的，所以不能用转折连词。
10.effected--affected
effect和affect两个词形近，而词性不同，容易混淆。前者通常作为名词，后者是动词。
