Q14:

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.

 

1. arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights
2. arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal rights for women
3. a treatise that advocates women’s equal political and legal rights
4. a treatise advocating women’s equal political and legal rights
5. a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women

   Answer: E

我选A

我的问题是:treatise可以自己argue吗?

觉得逻辑意思不对啊?

A哪里错了内

nikema

treatise是论著的意思，这种类型的句子优选出现新名词同位语的选项；然后，argue for是主张、赞成的意思，不一定需要人做施动者；A错在arguing修饰人，还是修饰那篇论文，不清楚，不如同位语结构好；A还错在两个for不平行。

i pick B,

in E, i don't think that "argued for" is a correct tense here, because the past tense means that the action "argue" only occured one time in the past, rather than many times.

so, the expression in E seems to distort the original meaning of the sentence.

would somebody tell me what's wrong in B ?

thx...
