해설
어법상 틀린 문장은 “If she had explained to him properly …”로 시작하는 문장이다.
가정법 과거완료 문제다. if절이 “had explained”이므로 주절은 “would have watched” 형태가 되어야 하는데, 직설법 과거 “watched”가 쓰였다.
- “We now put up a screen …”: “now … now …”(때로는 ~, 때로는 ~)로 현재시제가 병렬되고 “thus” 이하도 현재시제로 이어져 바르다.
- “We are spending more and more effort and money …”: “spend + 목적어 + -ing”와 “have a difficult time -ing”를 바르게 썼다.
- “Despite greatly increased catches …”: 전치사 despite 뒤에 명사구가 왔고, 단수 주어 “population”에 “is”가 맞다.
- “And because man cannot bear to live …”: “with + 목적어 + 과거분사”(unanswered)의 부대상황과 분사 “explaining”이 바르게 쓰였다.
