41. In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights and for changes in the married women's property laws.
(A) arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights
(B) arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal rights for women
(C) a treatise that advocates women's equal political and legal rights
(D) a treatise advocating women's equal political and legal rights
(E) a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women
解析在此：Mott’s Discourse was a treatise, and it is redundant and confusing to present her as both publishing her Discourse andarguing in a treatise, as though they were two separate things. The verb arguing must be followed by a prepositional phrase beginning with for, but the verb advocating simply takes a direct object. A. After published her Discourse … arguing in a treatise is wordy and imprecise. B. Arguing in a treatise is redundant and awkward. C. The verb advocates does not work idiomatically with the prepositional phrase for changes. … D .The verbal advocating does not work idiomatically with the prepositional phrase for changes. … E. Correct. The title of Mott’s publication is followed by a phrase describing the treatise, and argued is followed byfor.
此题选e。。我选的是b，根据comma,+v-ing的原则，此处arguing modifies 前面的主句 , applies to Lucretia Mott，感觉没什么问题。
答案说b太wordy。。我想问如果去掉in a treatise，b选项变成arguing for equal political and legal rights for women可以选吗？
如果仅仅凭wordy这个理由把b排除，在考试这么紧张的时间状态下，真的很难看出来啊。。
再加上e选项用的是被动语态，感觉有点迷惑T T
再次先谢过大家！！！～
