==============================

1. 정답: (b)

해설: aircraft는 단수의 형태와 복수의 형태가 같다. 즉, aircrafts라는 형태는 없다. 따라서 aircraft로 바꿔줘야 한다.

2. 정답: (a)

해설: dominate를 dominated로 바꿔줘야한다. 부사절의 시제과 과거니, 주절의 시제도 시제일치를 위해 과거로 맞춤. 현재시제는, 현재 일어나는 사건이 아니라, 일반적 사실/진리/반복적인 행동이나 습관에 주로 쓰이니 문맥상 어울리지 않는다.

 

3. 정답: (c)

very => much(혹은 a lot, still, far) 비교급을 수식하는 어구로 교체. very는 최상급이나 원급을 수식한다.
