79.  Ryunosuke Akutagawa's knowledge of the literatures of Europe, China, and that of Japan were instrumental in his development as a writer, informing his literary style as much as the content of his fiction.
(A)  that of Japan were instrumental in his development as a writer, informing his literary style as much as
(B)  that of Japan was instrumental in his development as a writer, and it informed both his literary style as well as
(C) Ryunosuke Akutagawa's knowledge of the literatures of Europe, China, and Japan was instrumental in his development as a writer, informing both his literary style and the content of his fiction.
(D)  Japan was instrumental in his development as a writer, as it informed his literary style as much as
(E)  Japan were instrumental in his development as a writer, informing both his literary style in addition to

其它选项OG的解释都很清楚了，唯独D选项小女子有点吃不消呀。。。
OG解释：This phrasing makes it unclear what the writer is claiming. It appears to indicate that the effect of Akutagawa's knowledge on his development as a writer was due to the fact that both of the aspects of his writing were influenced to the same extent, However, it is implausible to suppose that this is what the
writer intends. Furthermore, the comparison is ambiguous: did his knowledge inform his style as much as it informed the content, ox did it inform his style as much as the content informed his style?

烦请各位高人予以指点~！
多谢啦！！

读一遍找出每个选项的致命缺点，排除掉，就剩c为最佳答案了。还是那句，g考试答案是比出来的，而不是真的选出来的。

我排除了ABE最后选了C，但我不太清楚D哪里错了
as much as 在这里是修饰什么的？
是inform的程度吗？

谢谢你的建议！
在考场上时间就是分数，当然不必锱铢必较
但在考前我觉得还是踏实点，不要放过任何一个知识点
你觉得呢？

我也选了D 也同样有疑问啊 你想通了吗～？

这题我和你一样选了D 但答案是C informing 和从句 都是定语吧 我起初选D的理由是as much as 具体的修饰和意思没搞大明白 然后为了忠实原文 就选了D  还有我当时还有一个傻逼的理由就是informing 是做独立主格 主语是knowledge不能发出 informing这个动作 因为已经超时就没仔细斟酌这句的逻辑了  但是今天总结发现即使这个C D 是做定语 但两个都对 但as much as 是修饰什么 去掉是否会改变原句的意思？ 如果不改变 我想选C 的理由就是  简洁因为它是现在分词短语

This phrasing makes it unclear what the writer is claiming. It appears to indicate that the effect of Akutagawa's knowledge on his development as a writer was due to the fact that both of the aspects of his writing were influenced to the same extent, However, it is implausible to suppose that this is what the writer intends.

这句话的主要着重点是D选项上用as，而正确选项是用的informing，是状语。区别在于，【，V-ing】结构很明显在这句话里是起到状语的结构，是对前句的一个补充说明；而as的话，引导的是状语从句，但是as有一种用法是做because的意思来讲，所以OG说unclear and appears to indicate the meaning "due to"


Furthermore, the comparison is ambiguous: did his knowledge inform his style as much as it informed the content, ox did it inform his style as much as the content informed his style?


这句话，着重点是在as much as上，D选项后半句话是as it informed his literary style as much as the content of his fiction
C选项用both... and的结构，很清楚的表现出是inform both A and B, 也就是说inform的宾语是A和B两者，这点在C里很清楚。然而D却可以有两种解释，
1）as it(指代knowledge) informed his literacy style as much as the content of his fiction (informed) 也就是是knowledge和content of his fiction并列，同时作为informed的主语
2) as it informed his literacy style as much as the content of his fiction 这个就和C选项一致，即而这都作为informed的宾语


尽管后者才是作者真正想表达的意思，但是用as much as会造成理解为第一种的歧义，而且但就这题而言肯定没有both... and来的清晰。所以，最后D被X掉了

谢谢版主。 明白了。G 加油。

帖子沉了大半个月才找到知音呐~~
泪奔ing~~~
as much as 的问题版主童鞋讲的超级清楚了
informing在这里不是独立主格，应该是分词作状语修饰主句主语表伴随的吧~

雪球Sylvia

superbat童鞋好厉害~！
膜拜一个~~~

关于as much as,我还是想多嘴问一下哈
如果我没有理解错的话，作者真正想表达的意思是
his literacy style as much as the content of his fiction
但是没有C项中的both... and表意清晰
但是both...and并没有同等程度的含义

如果把C项中的both...and 换成 as much as 会不会更好一些？
因为informing 引导的分句不存在D项可能出现的第一种歧义的情况

烦劳版主解答一下~~
多谢啦！
