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
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！
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
