第1题

Webster's

especially    adv.
1 : SPECIALLY 1
2 a : in particular : PARTICULARLY <food seems cheaper, especially meats> b : for a particular purpose <built especially for research>
3 ― used as an intensive <an especially good essay> <nothing especially radical in the remarks>

specially    adv.
1 : in a special manner <treated her friends specially>
2 a : for a special purpose <dresses made specially for the occasion> b : in particular : SPECIFICALLY <made specially for you>
3 : ESPECIALLY 2 <makes a specially fine curry> <was specially pleased with the gift>

我觉得第1题的especially应该是其第三个词意：used as an intensive <an especially good essay> <nothing especially radical in the remarks>。而specially是没有这个意思的。

另外，我觉得because of diminishing 的表达很难看。
