✅ 解答・詳細解説(+目標スコア)
Q1 → A. aligns
🎯 目標スコア:900点
「whether+S+V」節の中で、主語は“the proposal”。
動詞 “aligns” が正しい形。動詞一致を問う問題。
Q2 → C. launching
🎯 目標スコア:850点
前置詞 “before” の後は名詞または動名詞。
→ “before launching the new product” が自然。
Q3 → B. did they realize
🎯 目標スコア:950点
倒置構文。「Only after~」で始まる文では助動詞+主語の倒置が必要。
→ “did they realize” が正解。
Q4 → B. be submitted
🎯 目標スコア:900点
“request that+主語+原形動詞” → 要求・命令を表す仮定法現在。
→ “be submitted” が正しい。
Q5 → B. due to
🎯 目標スコア:850点
名詞(power outage)を受ける原因表現は “due to”。
“because” は節を導くので不適。
Q6 → A. essential
🎯 目標スコア:800点
be動詞の補語に形容詞。“is essential”=「不可欠である」。
副詞や名詞形では不自然。
Q7 → C. although
🎯 目標スコア:900点
前後の文脈「奨励されているが、必須ではない」。
逆接を表す “although” が最適。
Q8 → A. by
🎯 目標スコア:750点
期限を示す前置詞は “by”。
“until” は「〜まで続く」の意味なので誤り。
Q9 → D. had
🎯 目標スコア:950点
「Having+過去分詞」=完了分詞構文。
「豊富な経験を持っていたので」→ “Having had extensive experience”。
Q10 → A. so
🎯 目標スコア:900点
構文 “so + 形容詞 + that SV”=「とても〜なので…」。
→ “so resourceful that the team assigned her〜”。
🧠 総評
このセットでは、倒置・仮定法現在・完了分詞構文・接続詞と前置詞の使い分け など、Part 5で頻出の高難度テーマを網羅。
900点以上を狙うには、単なる語彙暗記ではなく 文構造の瞬間認識力 が必須です。
特に「Only after」「request that+原形」「Having+過去分詞」などの定型構文は即答できるようにしましょう。
