Logical predication; Modification
This sentence intends to discuss NellieBly, a pioneer journalist who counts among her exploits a very fast trip aroundthe globe. The current construction is misleading because it suggests thatBly’s exploits, not Bly herself, were a pioneer journalist.
A In this answer choice, a pioneer journalist incorrectly modifies exploits, rather than Nellie Bly.
B Correct. This version correctly attributes the modifier a pioneer journalist to Nellie Bly.
C The wording of this version is illogical becauseit makes NellieBly the subject of the verb including.
D Since this event clearly happened in the past,the tense of the verb are is wrong. Piling on too many descriptive words forthe noun exploits [the pioneer journalist Nellie Bly’s exploits] makes the phrase unwieldy and awkward.
E This version can be construed as entailing that the pioneer journalist andNellie Bly are two different people, one exploiting the other.
The correct answer is B.
B项中同位语a pioneer journalist修饰前面的名词，但是这里前面的名词是The exploits of Nellie Bly, 核心词是exploits。意思说不过去啊，所以就一定是修饰NB的。是不是只要不会造成歧义就可以直接接其所修饰的名词啊？同位语修饰有什么特别的要点啊？我都晕了。。。。
有人帮忙解答一下吗？？？？？在此拜谢啦!!! |
