标题: 关于The Federalist papers作为主语
The Federalist papers, a strong defense of the United States Constitution and important as a body of work in political science as well, represents the handiwork of three different authors.
A, and imoortant as a body of work in political science as well, represents
B, as well as an important body of work in political science, represent
C, and also a body of work of importance in political science is representing
D, an important body of work in political science and has been representative of
E, and as political science an important body of work too, represent

正确答案是B, 错选了A。

主要是迷惑于represent还是represents.

分析思路是既然用 a strong defense 来形容，那么就是把 The Federalist papers 作为集合名词看做一个，所以选择了represents.

麻烦大神帮忙分析下AB两个选项，多谢！

我找到了这个：http://gmatclub.com/forum/the-federalist-papers-a-strong-defense-of-the-united-states-44804.html

"Federalist Papers" would be a proper noun, and hence, singular.

But the "p" in "papers" is not capitalised. So "Federalist" functions as an adjective to the noun/subject "papers", which is plural. So you need "represent".

但我还是不太明白，楼主你要是看明白了帮我解释一下。

他的思路是由于P不是大写，并且papers所以用复数。
可是我还是不太理解，如果是复数的话，为什么后面用 a strong defense呢...

麻烦各位帮忙分析，多谢~

被你这么一说，我也没明白为什么后面是a strong defense，不过A的错误是很明显的，划线部分的and和as well是冗余的，这是硬伤。

感谢提醒~ 另外一个思路之前没有注意到
