有道题想请教,谢谢啦
In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on
Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal
political and legal rights and for changes in the
married women’s property laws.
(A) arguing in a treatise for women to have equal
political and legal rights
(B) arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal
rights for women
(C) a treatise that advocates women’s equal political
and legal rights
(D) a treatise advocating women’s equal political
and legal rights
(E) a treatise that argued for equal political and
legal rights for women
Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
Mott’s Discourse was a treatise, and it is redundant
and confusing to present her as both publishing
her Discourse and arguing in a treatise, as though
they were two separate things. Th e verb arguing
must be followed by a prepositional phrase
beginning with for, but the verb advocating simply
takes a direct object.
A After published her Discourse … arguing in a
treatise is wordy and imprecise.
B Arguing in a treatise is redundant and
awkward.
C Th e verb advocates does not work
idiomatically with the prepositional phrase
for changes. …
D Th e verbal advocating does not work
idiomatically with the prepositional phrase
for changes. …
E Correct. Th e title of Mott’s publication is
followed by a phrase describing the treatise,
and argued is followed by for.
Th e correct answer is E |
