Which of the following is NOT grammatically correct?The Titanic was the most magnificent ship. It had luxuries and all comforts. It had electric light and heat, electric elevators, a swimming pool, a Turkish bath, libraries, etc. Most of the passengers were emigrants ①who were coming to America with hopes of a better life. The Titanic began to cross the Atlantic ocean on April 10. Nobody on the ship realized how much danger the ship was in. On April 14, at 11:40 p.m., an iceberg ②was spotted straight ahead. The captain tried to reverse the direction of his ship, but he couldn’t because the Titanic was traveling too fast and it was too big. It hit the iceberg and started to sink. The Titanic originally had had 32 lifeboats, but 12 of them ③had been removed to make the ship look better. While the ship was sinking, rich people ④had put on the lifeboats. By the time the third-class were allowed to come up from their cabins, most of the lifeboats ⑤had already left.

해설
어법상 틀린 것은 "had put"이며, 수동태 "were put"으로 고쳐야 한다.
주어 "rich people"은 구명정에 태우는 쪽이 아니라 태워지는 대상이고 목적어도 없으므로 수동태를 쓴다. 시제도 "While the ship was sinking"에 맞춰 단순 과거면 된다.
- "who were coming"은 선행사 "emigrants"를 받는 주격 관계대명사절의 복수 동사로 옳다.
- "was spotted"는 빙산이 '발견된' 것이므로 수동태가 옳다.
- "had been removed"는 구명정이 치워진 일이 침몰보다 앞선 일이므로 과거완료 수동태가 옳다.
- "had already left"는 "By the time" 과거절보다 앞서 끝난 일이므로 과거완료가 옳다.
