88. Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and
composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the
stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith and
Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from
the mainstream jazz repertory.

(A) Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and
composer, produced a body of work both rooted
(B) Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer,
produced a body of work that was rooted both
(C) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk,
who produced a body of work rooted
(D) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk
produced a body of work that was rooted
(E) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk
produced a body of work rooted both

Grammatical construction; Rhetorical
construction
The subject of the sentence is Thelonious Monk,
and the sentence tells about two things that he
did: produced and stood apart. Tne work he
produced was rooted in the mainstream {stride
piano) jazz tradition, yet at the same time, he
deviated from this tradition. The use of a relative
clause (who was a jazz pianist...) or an appositive
(thejazz pianist...) introduces unnecessary
wordiness and grammatical complexity. Since
only one point is being made about Monk's body
of work, the appearance of the word both in the
clause presenting the claim about Monk's work is
deceptive as well as grammatically incorrect.
A The relative clause introduces wordiness and
confusion.
B The appositive introduces wordiness and
unnecessary grammatical complexity.
C The sentence is a fragment because the main
subject, Thelonious Monk, has no verb.
D Correct. The sentence concisely identifies
Thelonious Monk and expresses the single
point about his work without unnecessary or
misleading words.
E The appearance of both is misleading, since
only one point is being made about where
Monk's musical roots are located.
The correct answer is D.

我完全不理解为什么both是多余的，而且both and 不是连接Willie (The Lion) Smith 和Duke Ellington吗？E项为何解释为“since
only one point is being made ”

这里的a body of work rooted in the stride-piano tradition of while smith and duke ellington 的意思是说while smith and duke elliington 的tradition，如果一定要说是两个人分别的，也应该说 rooted in the stride piano tradition of while smith and that of duke ellington..

对吧？

如果tradition是这两个人分别的，应该用traditions
