The same cannot be said for women. Each year,a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__ on the law and women whole world over run to obey. The __8__ decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.

答案:
1. strucked―struck或strucken.过去分词形式有误.strike的过去式是struck,过去分词为struck或strucken.据广大同学的答案及我自己的理解,before在此也应该是错的,改为ago的同学也是对的!有问题可以短消息我.
2. date―dated(个人认为outdated一类的词也可以,欢迎商榷).look为系动词,其后应该是形容词,构成系表结构
3. on other hand―on the other hand
4. entire―entirely.副词修饰形容词different,并与different一起修饰age
5. minority―majority.从上下文以及常识判断,多半男性成功抵制了改变他们服装款式的企图,即多年来,男性的服装款式与女士服饰相比没有多大变化
6. it―them.them代表the great majority of men
7. fewer―few.此处没有比较的意思 8. 去掉on.lay on为习语,表示“规定(规则,原则,法规等)”
9. Sometime―Sometimes.sometime为“在任何时候”,sometimes为“有时”
10. height―high
