GWD29-1

More than fifty years after the Second World War, a number of African American soldiers were awarded―some of them posthumously―with the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was the nation’s highest military award, and which was long overdue in recognition of their outstanding bravery.

1. with the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was the nation’s highest military award, and which was long overdue in
2. with the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award for long-overdue
3. the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was the nation’s highest military award, long-overdue in
4. the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award for long-overdue
5. the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award, in long-overdue

Answer is E.

My answer is D, free for discussion.

我也选了D

难道，同位语一定要前后两个逗号？可能这个想法有点蠢……

GWD29的答案并不一定，其中1，29，41的答案值得商榷。

大家各抒己见！

原文是并列成分，D变成了修饰成分

非常大的错误

 There are two sentences from a dictionry:the court awarded(him)damages of $5000.She was rewarded a medeal for bravry. For ths reason,I take D.But I'm not sure the comma thing.

这道题目肯定要选E,D错在改变了句子的意思.

the nation’s highest military award for long-overdue recognition of their outstanding bravery.

你看看这里是说award for recognition means the recognition of their outstanding bravery is the content of the award.

举个例子The award for this year's best actress of the year went to Meryl Streep.我认为如果用award for的话,后面应该直接接their outstanding bravery.

then let's see choice E, in recognition of is a set phrase. And it means that the purpose of the award is to recognize their outstanding bravery.

Therefore, E is the correct choice~~not D

這道題我也選錯了。

我認為E應該是正確答案。Honor in recognition of 應該是固定搭配。

記得今年一月份填austin的EMBA申請表的時候﹐就有問 你得過什麼 _____honor in recognition of _________. 想想這個在美國中學的獎學金申請裡到處可見。當時做題的時候怎麼就糊塗了。
