Originally — наречие «первоначально»: характеризует происхождение праздника, а не существительное. От origin получаем original, затем originally с -ly.
-
Were forbidden — «им было запрещено»: после were в пассивном залоге нужна третья форма forbid — forbidden. Следующее to play называет запрещённое действие.
-
Illegal — «незаконный»: рабство было запрещено, поэтому к legal добавляем отрицательную приставку il-. После was made требуется прилагательное, характеризующее результат.
-
Enthusiastic — «полные энтузиазма»: перед islanders нужно прилагательное, обозначающее качество людей. Enthusiasm — существительное «энтузиазм».
-
Immigrants — «иммигранты»: attracted many требует исчисляемого существительного во множественном числе, обозначающего людей. От immigrate образуем immigrant и добавляем -s.
-
Cultural — «культурный»: diversity — существительное «разнообразие», поэтому перед ним ставим прилагательное от culture. Cultural diversity означает «культурное разнообразие».
