short; their general appearance is， in fact， slightly ludicurous.

答案及解析：

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

2. date—dated

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
