어법상 틀린 곳은 “twice of the rate”로, “twice the rate”로 고쳐야 한다.
배수사 구문 문제다. “twice”는 전치사 of 없이 “배수사 + the + 명사” 어순으로 바로 명사를 받는다.
“10 million more”: 수량 표현이 비교급 앞에서 차이를 나타내고, 뒤의 “than in 1990”과 호응한다.
“More than 70% die”: 사망자 중 70% 이상을 뜻하는 복수 주어에 복수 동사가 맞다.
“every third death”: “every + 서수 + 단수 명사”(세 건 중 한 건꼴)의 바른 표현이다.
“one in six”: 여섯 중 하나라는 비율 표현으로, “of all deaths”와 함께 쓸 수 있다.
