1. Until quite recently, American presidents lived in a world in which the public and private realms of their lives were largely separate, and the press cooperated in maintaining the distinction, and Americans judged national leaders without receiving, or expecting, intimate information about them.

(A) and the press cooperated in maintaining the distinction, and

(B) where the press cooperated in maintaining the distinction, and where

(C) for the press cooperated to maintain the distinction and

(D) the press cooperated to maintain the distinction, for

(E) in which the press cooperated in maintaining the distinction, and in which

答案 E. 因为结构平行?

我选了C. 因为我把这里的for当作"因为",用the press cooperated to maintain the distinction, 和 Americans judged national leaders without receiving, or expecting, intimate information about them这两个理由来解释为什么American presidents lived in a world in which the public and private realms of their lives were largely separate. 从逻辑意思上去理解好象也对. 困惑中.....

有人能帮我指出错误之处吗? 万分感谢.....

首先，cooperate in doing更常用。

其二因果关系不明显。如果是因果，则maintain the distinction 就应在 the

public and private realms of their lives were largely separate之前，而实

际更象是顺承，有了the distinction ，然后maintain。

既然如此,那请NN说说这句话的意思吧.怎么顺承的

我第一反映也是C, 没有理解这题的意思..
