OG 79,前人没问过的？

79. George Sand (Aurore Lucile Dupin) was one of the first European writers to consider the rural poor to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these with sympathy and respect in her novels.

1. to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these
   
   


2. should be legitimate subjects for literature: portray these
   



3. as being legitimate subjects for literature an portraying them
   



4. as if they were legitimate subjects for literal; and portray them
   



5. legitimate subjects for literature and to portray them
   

When the verb consider is used to mean "regard" or "deem," it can be used more economically without the to be of choice A; should be in choice B, as being in choice C, and as if in choice D are used unidiomatically with this sense of consider, and D carries the unwarranted suggestion that Sand is somehow viewing the rural poor hypothetically. Choice E, therefore, is best: each of the other choices inserts an unnecessary, unidiomatic, or misleading phrase before legitimate subjects. Moreover, A and B incorrectly use these rather than them as the pronoun referring to the poor. In C, portraying is not parallel with to consider. Only E has to portray, although not essential, to underscores the parallelism of portray and consider.

poor是形容词啊，此处ETS怎么说用them来指代呢？

形容词前加定冠词，表示一类人，所以the poor就表示“穷苦的人们”，是复数，应该用them指代

u're right;

刚刚翻了词典，查到了：The poor are people who are poor.

N-PLURAL:the N

没细看词典！谢谢！

因为单从语法上来讲这里的"to"是可以省略的，但是为了结构完美平行对称，所以加上。

弱弱的问:

A , B选项不能用 these代替them 指代 the poor,

那改成those可以吗? 指示代词 that , those 和代词 it , them用法上有什么区别呢?

不行。those 用于泛指，them用于特指。所以those常加限定性定语从句或of 短语来限定修饰，如those who。这里只能用和the rural poor指代内涵一致代词，那就是them了。
