說明:
1. before that 犯了代名詞that 的 「implied」錯誤,被暗示代表「Competition in the mid-nineteenth century by large western farms gradually caused farmers in Pennsylvania to turn to livestock raising」,這是美國人的口語英文,不是GMAT要求的standard written English 因此刪除2項,剩下3項

A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer’s Canehas been called one of the three best novels ever written by BlackAmericans—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, andRalph Ellison, author of Invisible Man. (A) Black Americans—the others being RichardWright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of InvisibleMan (B) Black Americans—including Native Sonby Richard Wright and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison (C) a Black American—including Richard Wright,author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man (D) a Black American—the others being RichardWright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of InvisibleMan (E) aBlack American—the others being Richard Wright’s Native Son and RalphEllison’s Invisible Man
解說:Jean Toomer’s Cane 是解題線索:凡作者+書名,只有一種寫法如Jean Toomer’s Cane
以此準則,ABCD四選項都可刪除,只剩1選項(E)....Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man
是對的。因此,直接選(E),不要浪費時間在ABCD裡琢磨。
歡迎提問。
