정답 및 해설
정답 (E) 해설: 밑줄친원문은비교대상이비논리적이다. B as well as A 비교구문을분석하면A자리에동사가없기때문에비교대상이‘체리콜라 vs. 20세미만의사람들’이되므로비논리적이다.
(C) 밑줄친원문의모호한비교를해결했지만원문의비교형식as well as 구문을접속사 as로수정했다. 해석하면‘40세이상의사람들은20세미만의많은사람들이체리콜라를좋아하는것처럼체리콜라를좋아하지않는것으로나타났다’ 해석상으로는문제가없는것처럼보이지만밑줄친원문의의미를바꾸고있어부적절하다.
(D) as well than은올바른관용표현이아니다.
(E) 밑줄친원문의비교형식과비슷한as much as 비교구문을사용해‘40세이상의사람들과 20세미만의사람들’을비교하고있다.
