参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1. strucked—struck或strucken．过去分词形式有误.strike的过去式是struck，过去分词为struck或strucken．
2. date—outdated look为系动词，其后应该是形容词，构成系表结构
3. on other hand—on the other hand
4. entire—entirely．副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age

6. it—them．them代表the great majority of men
7. fewer—few．此处没有比较的意思　
8. 去掉on．lay on为习语，表示“规定（规则，原则，法规等）”
