Greatly influenced by the Protestant missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.

(A) was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided
(B) was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided
(C) alone among the five nations of the Iroquois League sided
(D) were the only ones out of the five nations of the Iroquois League in siding
(E) only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided

(C) alone among 是什么词性? 副词吗?

请教alone,only, alone among用法

alone of, only of 怎么错了? 不是经常有什么什么of...吗,阅读里各种稀奇古怪的of见得多了,到这里也麻木了

A: alone 作为 adj.
2: exclusive of anyone or anything else : only <she alone knows why>

B: alone作为adv.
1: solely, exclusively <the blame is his alone>

我觉得可以把alone当做the only one，the only one of XXX，the only one among XXX，这样是不是更容易理解？？
这里along副词修饰sided with。

既然做副词，那我觉得alone比作like the only one更好。

IMO

C-->the meaning is:  Among the five nations of the IL, Oneida sided with the colonists during the American Revolutions alone.
alone here used as a adv.

here, we should not use only OF is because----"five-nation Iroquois League" is a organization or commission<one of the league  :nonsense >

ps: lucy and kate -->subject is two girls.
however, Oneida is ONE of the FIVE  nations, the subject is singular( the usage of "was" in A, IMO, based on the logical meaning of the original sentence,  is right), thus we should use the only ONE
