回答: (1) the lady found (it) interesting to know how the story would end. その婦人は話がどのようにして終わるのか知ることは興味深いと知った。 直訳ですが、 it はto 以下を指します。 found と interesting の間には、どうしても名詞か代名詞が入る必要があります。 (1) the idea came (to him) one day when he noticed that his daughter was playing with baby dolls. 彼の娘が人形と遊んでいるのに気づいた時、その考えが彼に浮かんだ。 (2) the picture on the right (is) the high school building which was built 40 years ago and demolished last year. 右の写真が40年前に建てられ去年取り壊された高校の建物です。 which (was) は この場合、built と demolished の両方にかかります。
