※밑줄 친 부분 중 어법상 옳지 않은 것을 고르시오. [문5.∼문6.]

Only a modern-day Rip Van Winkle could have missed the fact that digital technology has made ①it a whole lot easier to plagiarize. As the New York Times expressed it in the title of a 2010 article ②on the subject, “Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age.” The article goes on to say what many instructors on college campuses have noted: A disturbing number of students seem to think it is acceptable to “write” a paper ③by pulling up several websites on the same topic and then cutting and pasting together sentences or entire paragraphs drawn from the different sites. Even worse, there are signs ④that this trend is on the rise. According to surveys taken by the Center for Academic Integrity, the number of students who think cutting and pasting from sites on the Web is serious cheating ⑤has been declined markedly in only a few short years. A few years ago, 34 percent considered it serious. Now only 29 percent do.

어법상 옳지 않은 것은 “has been declined”로, “has declined”로 고쳐야 한다.
“decline”(감소하다)은 이 뜻에서 자동사이므로 수동태로 쓸 수 없다. 주어는 “the number of students”로 단수이므로 has는 수일치에 맞다.
“it”: “made it a whole lot easier to plagiarize”의 가목적어로, 진목적어는 to plagiarize이다.
“on”: “on the subject”(그 주제에 관한)에서 주제를 나타내는 전치사로 옳다.
“by pulling up”: “by + 동명사”(~함으로써) 구문으로 옳다.
“that”: “signs”의 내용을 설명하는 동격 접속사로 뒤에 완전한 절이 와서 옳다.
