语法一道：我的最后一道，具体记不太清了， 大概吧！
答案应该就在这两个中选择：
B: Since the publication of 书名 in 19xx，Ms.A has worked to improve the opportunities of women in the United States.

E: Ms.A has worked to improve women's opportunities in the United States since the publication of 书名 in 19xx.

大致如此吧，当时脑子木了，老在考虑到底是opportunities of women还是women\'s opportunities？后来咬牙选了E，现在想起来好像错了，应该选B吧！

which one is better?

tongxun

B。
因为，opportunities of women in the United States 比women's opportunities in the United States 好。
从逻辑上将，这个人应该是为提高美国女人的地位而努力的。

cook

I will choose E . The test point I think is " since...." , confusing. Since can mean "because", but it can also mean "from the time that". So, you better rephrase the sentence like E.  " women's opportunies " is correct.

princess

原来cook gg是觉得since不好啊
这儿since 应该没有问题

同意选B
in the United States 短语前需接women，而不是opportunities

yiyuan05

B。
我从语感上觉得B比E好。
