The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian—vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely.
(A) and meat rarely
(B) and meat was rare
(C) with meat as rare
(D) meat a rarity
(E) with meat as a rarity
The best answer heremust qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part ofthe list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logicallyand grammatically attach to the main clause when the list is omitted. Choice Afails this test: The diet... was largelyvegetarian, and meat rarely. D fails also, because it lacks a function wordsuch as with to link it to the mainclause. The wording of choice B is imprecise and ambiguous—for example, itcould mean that meat was scarce, or that it was not well done or medium. ChoiceC is unidiomatic. Clearly phrased, grammatically linked, and idiomaticallysound, choice E is best
正确句子是
The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian—vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, with meat as a rarity。
因为there is no such thing as amodifier that is blocked off by a dash on the left, but by a comma on the right. if you have a modifier that does not extend to the end of thesentence, then you must use either two dashes or two commas to set it off.
所以我觉得应该是这样啊（逗号改成破折号）：
The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian—vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes—with meat as a rarity。

有没有可能meal cakes后面的逗号就算是end of the sentence了 因为毕竟with meat as a rarity只是个伴随状语

如果反过来 Largely vegetarian—vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes--was the diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times , with meat as a rarety. 这样 破折号前后的内容加起来才能构成完整的句子的情况下 才需要前后连个破折号把解释说明的部分凸现出来

我觉得with应该是破折号里面的东西，和主句不在同一层。只有把“逗号+with”改成“破折号+with”，with才能和主句在同一层。

这道题很不理解了

YEWCHOW

好像也不对，两个破折号中间的部分可以整个拿掉的，那with前面应该还

是得有逗号吧……
