해설
어법상 틀린 문장은 “many a tale has been told parents who ...”가 들어 있는 교육에 관한 문장이다.
“부모들에 관한 이야기”라는 뜻이므로 전치사 of가 필요하다. “many a tale has been told of parents who have sacrificed all”로 고쳐야 하며, “many a + 단수 명사 + 단수 동사”의 수일치는 맞다.
- “Newspapers are ephemeral texts ...”: “that is”(즉)로 앞 내용을 풀어 쓰고 “are intended only for”의 수동태도 바르다.
- “One-third of the workers are ...”: 부분 표현 뒤 복수 명사에 맞춘 복수 동사로 수일치가 바르다.
- “Floor lamps have become ...”: 선행사 “element”에 맞춘 “brings”, “compete with” 뒤 목적어가 빠진 관계절 구조가 바르다.
- “Neither congress nor state legislatures have ...”: “neither A nor B”는 B에 수를 맞추므로 복수 동사가 바르다.
