Those who study ancient European history soon realize that before Greece was Greece, it was a collection of small city-states that were intensely jealous of one another and were only occasionally able to work together for common goals. from gmatclub

A. before Greece was Greece, it was a collection of small city-states

B. before there was Greece, it was a collection of small city-states

C. before Greece, it was a collection of small city-states

D. it was a collection of small city-states that was Greece

E. Greece became a collection of small city states

OA:A
我選Ｃ，我覺得it= ancient European history，也就是在 Greece 以前，歐洲歷史是 a collection of small city-states
而before Greece was Greece 我看不懂中文要怎麼解釋
先謝謝大家

按你说的C，it was a collection...这个it没有指代。前文唯一出现的单数名词就是 European history, 但european history 肯定不可能是 a collection of small city-states，所以C不对。

而A就解决了这个问题，因为第一个greece这个，就成为了it的指代，你可以一下反应过来这里it指的是greece，而且greece是 a collection of small city.....

A的意思就是，在希腊成为希腊之前，希腊是一些小城邦的结合体。
