정답 및 해설
1. 정답: C) plunged
(해설: 6.5점 이상을 받으려면 'went down' 대신 'plunged'나 'plummeted' 같은 강한 동사를 써야 수치 변화를 역동적으로 보여줄 수 있습니다.)
2. 정답: B) False
(해설: 지문에서는 가솔린 차가 여전히 'dominate(지배하다)'하고 있다고 했으므로, 전기차가 더 인기 있다는 문장은 틀린 정보입니다.)
3. 정답: B) beneficial
(해설: 에세이에서는 'good'이나 'helpful' 대신 'beneficial', 'advantageous' 같은 단어를 쓰는 것이 점수 향상에 유리합니다.)
4. 정답: C) The city in which I live is very crowded.
(해설: 'live'는 자동사라 'in'이 필요합니다. 'where I live'라고 하거나 'in which I live'가 문법적으로 정확합니다.)
5. 정답: B) On the other hand
(해설: 앞의 장점과 뒤의 단점을 대조할 때 쓰는 필수 연결어입니다.)
