밑줄 친 부분에 들어갈 가장 적절한 표현은?Issues seem to become more and more complex as the world becomes more complex. In an interview, the actress Susan Sarandon, who has always been engaged with social issues, stated that in the mid- to late 1960s, when she was in college, the issues seemed simpler, more black and white. The issues at that time, for example, centered on civil rights and the Vietnam War. “We were blessed with clear-cut issues,” she says. “We were blessed with clear-cut grievances. ”

해설
빈칸에는 “Things were not as gray as they are now.”(상황이 지금처럼 회색이지는 않았다)가 들어간다.
지문은 1960년대의 쟁점이 “simpler, more black and white”(더 단순하고 흑백이 분명했다)였고 “clear-cut”(명확한)했다고 말한다. 따라서 지금보다 덜 모호했다는 말로 끝나야 자연스럽다.
- “Issues were never as clear as they are.”(쟁점이 지금만큼 명확한 적이 없었다)는 그때가 더 명확했다는 흐름과 반대다.
- “We talked about politics more often than now.”(지금보다 정치 얘기를 자주 했다)는 지문이 다루지 않은 빈도 비교다.
- “We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.”(이제 고난의 끝이 보인다)은 쟁점이 복잡해진다는 첫 문장과 맞지 않는다.
- “Truly, every cloud has a silver lining.”(나쁜 일에도 좋은 면이 있다)은 쟁점의 명확성 비교와 무관한 격언이다.
