정답 및 해설
정답 (B) 해설: 비교의대상이 the Russian music vs. France는비논리적이다. 주어가 The music of Russia가아니라 The Russian music이므로만약 ‘than that of France’로고치면대명사 that은 The Russian music을대신하므로 that of France의의미는 ‘the Russian music of France’를의미하므로비논리적이다.
비교의대상은러시아의음악 vs. 프랑스의음악이므로 ‘than the music of France’로고쳐야한다.
rich의비교급은 more
rich가아니라 richer이므로(C), (D), (E)는틀렸다. 또한(D)는(B)와비슷해보이지만 (B)와비교해불필요하게말을장황되게사용해틀렸다.
