GWD5-Q1

找过以前的帖子，但是好像没有讨论出结果，所以再贴出来问NN。

GWD5-Q1:

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

A. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,

B. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that

C. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that

D. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,

E. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

虽然容易通过排除选出E项，但是这里的结构是什么呢？为什么两个SO的分局之间不用连词and呢？？

我在想，CE之间的区别在于and前后的内容不同。应该是C的and出问题了

後來想想, 原句(6th floor)是錯的, 這也是為什麼GMAC要出這一題.
如果句子變成:
So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry and so persistent was her lobbying for wage and hour reform that she was first recruited by Gov.
還可以對.
有and做連詞, 不能把一個clause和一個很像獨立主格的東東並列連起
所以句子要改成:
So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov.
當兩個clause用and並列, 而謂語含一樣的助動詞(單複不一致也成)+main verb, 可以把and換成comma和助動詞+main verb省.
我相信系詞也是一樣的rule.
這個rule來自Handbook of Good English:
When an auxiliary verb is involved and changes form because of a change in person, the whole compound verb can be omitted as long as the form of the actual verb is the same, as in I am going to jail, you to your just reward, in which the omitted auxiliary verb is are, but the omitted actual verb is going, the same form as in the first clause.
