2. coughed
3. risk
4. trouble
5. places
6. dangerous
7. climber
8. taking
9. death
10. control

我们逐个分析每个空的变形规则：
1. 主语That是第三人称单数，句子描述客观事实用一般现在时，谓语动词mean要变为第三人称单数形式means。
2. 并列连词or后面的sneezed是一般过去式，时态保持一致，cough要变为过去式coughed，描述过去发生的动作。
3. 不定冠词a后面需要接名词，形容词risky要变为名词形式risk，构成固定搭配a risk of... 表示“……的风险”。
4. much后面要接不可数名词，trouble本身是不可数名词，直接填原形即可，so much trouble表示“诸多麻烦”。
5. 形容词different后面接可数名词的复数形式，place的复数是places，different places表示“不同的地方”。
6. 后面是名词sports，需要用形容词修饰名词，名词danger要变为形容词形式dangerous，dangerous sports表示“危险的运动”。
7. 不定冠词a后面接表示身份的名词，动词climb要变为指人的名词climber，mountain climber是固定表达，意为“登山者”。
8. 此处是过去进行时结构"was + 现在分词"，表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，take要变为现在分词taking。
9. 形容词性物主代词His后面需要接名词，动词die要变为名词形式death，意为“死亡，离世”。
10. 情态动词can后面必须接动词原形，所以直接填control即可。
