Although she was considered amongher contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later ElizabethBarrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.
A.
Although she was considered among her contemporaries to be the better poet than her husband, later Elizabeth Barrett Browning was overshadowed by his success.

B.
Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning was considered among her contemporaries as a better poet than her husband, she was later overshadowed by his success.

C.
Later overshadowed by the success of her husband, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry had been considered among her contemporaries to be better than that of her husband.

D.
Although Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s success was later overshadowed by that of her husband, among her contemporaries she was considered the better poet.

E.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry was considered among her contemporaries as better than her husband, but her success was later overshadowed by his.
Thesentence misuses the locution the better poet. It is acceptable to say abetter poet than but not the better poet than. If you have alreadymentioned two poets X and Y, and you want to say that X isbetter than Y, you can either say X is a better poet than Y, orsimply, X is the better poet.

A This version of the sentence misuses the idiom the better poet,most likely confusing it with the idiom a better poet than.
大仙:這個解釋雖然是對的,但臭不可聞,本選項的關鍵問題是主從句地位問題還有later的位置吧,還有被overshadowed的到底是人還是成功
B [W]as considered amongher contemporaries as is awkward and unnecessarily creates a potentialmisreading (she was considered to be among her contemporaries).
大仙:同樣臭不可聞的解釋,明明就是慣用語嘛,還有主從句地位問題。
C The subject here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry, not ElizabethBarrett Browning, so the antecedent of her in her husbandcould comically be taken to be Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetry.Furthermore, the tense of had been considered pairs oddly with Laterovershadowed. Each seems to be in reaction to some particular time T—laterthan T and earlier than T, but when T was or itssignificance is never indicated.
D Correct. This version avoids the problems of the otherversions.
E This sentence comically compares Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poetryto her husband.

大仙:總的來說非常好的一道題目,綜合了比較、主從關係、慣用語,值得一做。





Thai village crafts, as with other cultures, have developed through the principle that form follows function and incorporate readily available materials fashioned using traditional skills.
A.
as with

B.
as did those of

C.
as they have in

D.
like in

E.
like those of
Logicalpredication; Diction; Verb form
The phraseas with other cultures is initially confusing given that no culture hasbeen specifically mentioned; Thai village culture is indirectly referenced bythe mention of Thai village crafts, so perhaps that is what is meant.But then, looking at the phrase in context, it becomes clear that the sentenceis intended to indicate that the crafts of other cultures are similar incertain ways to Thai village crafts. Thus, the sentence should say those ofother cultures. Furthermore, the use here of as with isquestionable. To do the job it is supposed to do here (to indicate that thecrafts of Thai villages are like the crafts of other cultures in a particularway), as with should be at the beginning of the sentence: As with thecrafts of other cultures, Thai village crafts have developed . . . .Alternatively, like could be used here instead of as with.

A The appropriate comparison is between Thai village crafts and those(i.e., crafts) of other cultures, not the other cultures themselves.Additionally, like would be more appropriate here than as with.
B The verb form here is incorrect. [D]id is not parallelto have later in the sentence. The phrase as have those of othercultures would be parallel, but it is in the wrong position. To be correct,it would need to occur after the main verb is introduced: Thai villagecrafts have developed, as have those of other cultures, . . .
C The use of the pronoun they is inaccurate; the reader is likelyto take its antecedent to be Thai village crafts, not crafts.Furthermore, even if the pronoun here were not problematic, if the constructionas they have in other cultures is used, it should occurafter the main verb (have developed) is introduced.
D The comparative term like compares two nouns or noun phrases,but in this version of the sentence, like compares a noun (crafts)with a prepositional phrase (in other cultures).
E Correct. [T]hose of other cultures clearly refersto the crafts of other cultures; like is appropriate for making acomparison between two sorts of things (crafts).

Over the next few years, increasing demands on the Chattahoochee River, which flows into the Apalachicola River, could alter the saline content of Apalachicola Bay, which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size, less distinctive, and less in demand.
A.
which would rob the oysters there of their flavor, and to make them decrease in size,

B.
and it would rob the oysters there of their flavor, make them smaller,

C.
and rob the oysters there of their flavor, making them decrease in size,

D.
robbing the oysters there of their flavor and making them smaller,

E.
robbing the oysters there of their flavor, and making them decrease in size,
Parallelism; Grammatical construction
The sentence claims that demands for river water may change the saline content of the bay, possibly altering the flavor and size of oysters there and diminishing the oysters’ marketability. The sentence is not parallel. It should read which would rob the oysters . . . and make them decrease to be parallel and grammatical. The series of three phrases after make them that describes what will happen to the oysters also needs to be parallel.

A The referent of the relative pronoun, which, is ambiguous; the two effects of altered saline content are not expressed in parallel form, withal relative clause expressing the first effect, and an infinitive phrase expressing the second.
B The referent of the pronoun it is ambiguous. Also, the effects of the bay’s altered saline content are not expressed in parallel form—the first being an independent clause and the second a verb phrase.
C The comma before the conjunction and signals that an independent clause will follow and, but a verb phrase follows instead. The series of phrases following making them lacks appropriate parallelism.
D Correct. The potential effects on the oysters are expressed by two parallel participial phrases, the second of which lists three adjectives correctly in a series.
E The series of phrases following making them lacks appropriate parallelism.
大仙:很典型的動詞發出者題目,焦點在動詞rob,捎帶考了平行,劃線外那坨也很重要啊親。

Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.
A.
which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize

B.
published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize

C.
published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize

D.
was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, brought her the widest acclaim

E.
was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and bringing her the widest acclaim



Idiom; Grammatical construction
This sentence claims that the 1982 novel The Color Purple brought Alice Walker more acclaim than her many publications in the 1970s.

A The construction both the American Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize is unidiomatic; the correct idiomatic form is both x Andy.
B Because this sentence uses only participial phrases in the clause following the initial, dependent clause, the sentence lacks a main verb and is therefore ungrammatical.
C Correct. This version correctly uses the form both x and yond is grammatically correct.
D The use of which is inappropriate here; although it would stillbe rhetorically inferior to the correct answer (C), this version would beacceptable if the word which were deleted.
E Like (A), this version of the sentence uses the unidiomatic form bothx as well as y.
大仙:正確答案出現了疑似夾心啊。。。。。看來這的確不是老頭認為的百分百硬傷。。。本題主要是考句子基本結構完整性和很傻的平行
