參考答案及解析:
1. strucked—struck或strucken.過去分詞形式有誤.strike的過去式是struck，過去分詞為struck或strucken.
2. date—outdated look為系動(dòng)詞，其后應(yīng)該是形容詞，構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)
3. on other hand—on the other hand
4. entire—entirely.副詞修飾形容詞different，并與different一起修飾age
5. minority—majority.從上下文以及常識(shí)判斷，多半男性成功抵制了改變他們服裝款式的企圖，即多年來，男性的服裝款式與女士服飾相比沒有多大變化
6. it—them.them代表the great majority of men
7. fewer—few.此處沒有比較的意思
8. 去掉on.lay on為習(xí)語，表示“規(guī)定(規(guī)則，原則，法規(guī)等)”
9. Sometime—Sometimes.sometime為“在任何時(shí)候”，sometimes為“有時(shí)”
10. height—high
