I would be very rich now ( ) I followed his advice at that time. ( a ) have ( b ) if ( c ) had ( d ) should
正解は(c)。仮定法の混合形です。I would be very rich nowは今のことだから仮定法過去。( ) I followed his advice at that time.はat that timeから考えて、過去のことなので仮定法過去完了ですよ。if I had followed his advice at that timeとなるべきところがifが省略されているわけです。(b)は引っかけですから選ばないように。
The man ( ) I believed was honest deceived me. ( a ) who ( b ) whom ( c ) whose ( d ) to whom
正解は(a)。The man deceived me.という英文とI believed (that) he was honest.という英文が結びついた物なので、heが関係詞に変わって( )に入ります。(b)は引っかけですから選ばないように。
( ) with our galaxy, the sun is small. ( a ) Comparing ( b ) Compared ( c ) To compare ( d ) Comparison
正解は(b)。If the sun is compared with our galaxy, the sun is small.の分詞構文ですからね。分詞は常に意味上の主語との関係が能動か受動かを意識して下さい。

引っかけの選択肢は本文中の単語をそのまま使っている場合が多いです。これは英語が苦手な生徒は、正解がわからず勘で選ぶ場合が多く、その場合に「見た目」が本文と同じ、あるいは似ている選択肢を選ぶ傾向があるということを出題者が逆手に取ったものです。同じ単語そのまま使われているものには要注意。逆に正解の選択肢は、本文中の単語をそのまま使うのではなく同義語で言い換えてある場合が多くなります。(昨年度の第4問 B 問2の選択肢2のbook、選択肢3の10%などが本文の単語をそのまま使っているひっかけの選択肢の例です。結局正解は本文チラシの10% of your tour priceを言い換えた選択肢4の3500 yenなのです。
