30.Thomas Eakin's powerful style and his choices of subject-the advances in modern surgery,the discipline of sport,the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves-was as disturbing to his own time as it is compelling for ours.
(A)was as disturbing to his own time as it is
(B)were as disturbing to his own time as they are
(C)has been as disturbing in his own time as they are
(D)had been as disturbing in his own time as it was
(E)have been as disturbing in his own time as
answer should be "B"
were 的主语是the strains还是 themselves?后面的his 和 they指的又是什么呢?谢谢了
MM看来是句子没读懂吧。
主语是“Thomas Eakin's powerful style and his choices of subject”
后面一个破折号算是同位语，用来进一步解释his choices of subject的，这些subject包括
1、the advances in modern surgery
2、the discipline of sport
3、the strains of individuals in tension with society or even with themselves
后面的his指的就是Thomas Eakin，而they指的是句子的主语Thomas Eakin's powerful style and his choices of subject
谢谢,谢谢,现在清楚多了,感激
OG解释的翻译
“原来句子的复合主语（style和choices）后面跟了单数的表语（was和is）和单数的代词(it）。
这个复合主语要求后面跟的表语是复数的（were和are)以及复数的代词（they）”
所以后面的they指代的复合主语，即style和choices
