1.Charlie Parker, __C___ was one of the creators of the music style called "bop."
(A)a great jazz improviser who
(B)to improvise great jazz
(C)a great jazz improviser
(D)improvised great jazz.
was 前面是否还应该有个逗号? 主语,同位语,谓语的形式. 少一个逗号对吗?

2.The [U]bold[/U] way in which Margaret Mead defined the [U]terms[/U] "family" - [U]based as [/U]
much on choice as on biological relationship - is possibly [U]the most enduring [/U]of her legacies.
答案是B,terms应改为单数. 可是the most enduring 为何正确?

beijinggirl

谢谢. 第二题,如果把enduring看作形容词,是否后面应先跟一个名词才能接of? the most enduring 本身可以做名词吗?

beijinggirl

还有第三道改错题.

3.(After) the Boston Tea Party in 1773, coffeehouses in the North American colonies (became) centers for gossip, (gamble), and (political) criticism.

为什么答案是c(改为gambling)? d不可以吗? 把political 改为politics. 究竟是gossip criticism, gamble criticism, and politics criticism 还是 gossip, gamble, and political criticism? 即便是后者也没必要改gamble 呀? 名词做冒险理解又有何妨?

bessette

gambling强调行为，在这里比gamble 合适，个人意见！
