자료실에 올려주신 SC1000제 2번 문제인데요.
제가 갖고 있는 책(The Official Guide for GMAT Review 12th Edition)에도 같은 문제가 있거든요.
그런데 정답이 다르네요;;
문제 -> A 1972 Agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
A) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump
B) reduced the phosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping
C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities
두 번 다 저는 같은 답을 썼는데.. A라고,,
책에선 틀렸고, 자료실 1000제 답에선 맞았네요...ㅋ...ㅠㅠ
책의 답이 이상한 건지 설명해주실 분 부탁드립니다!! (--)(__)
참고로 D가 정답이라는 책의 설명을 요약하자면요..
Since the dumping continued after the date of the agreement, the past perfect verb had been allowed shold instead be the present are allowed. -> 1972년 협약 이후로 아직도 규정이 효력이 있기 때문에 현재형을 쓰는 게 맞다는 것 같은데.. 잘 이해가 안 되네요ㅠ
