The endurance and consistency of baseball star Lou Gehrig, known as “The Iron Horse,” are legendary.

(A) The endurance and consistency of baseball star Lou Gehrig, known as “The Iron Horse,” are legendary.

(B) The endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig, a baseball star known as “The Iron Horse,” is legendary.

(C) Known as “The Iron Horse,” the endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig, the baseball star, is legendary.

(D) The reason baseball star Lou Gehrig is known as “The Iron Horse” is because of his legendary endurance and consistency.（A）

(E) Known as “The Iron Horse,” baseball star Lou Gehrig’s endurance and consistency are legendary.

我仍然对OG以外的语法题答案的来源表示怀疑

此题B选项明显比参考答案－A选项表述得更合理。Lou Gehrig, a baseball star known as “The Iron Horse,”的表述比baseball star Lou Gehrig, known as “The Iron Horse,” 的表述要地道得多。而且A选项在baseball star之前还省略了一个不该省略的冠词。The endurance and consistency应该接单数而不是复数，这是一个整体，指的是人身上的一种精神，已经几乎成为习语了。

这个有没有根据或是出处呢，根据做的题一般用and连接还是要重复述，现在我见到的一种情况就是

如：the dancer and teacher, 这个若是指人的话，是一个人，这种情况是单数，但上述例题虽说是一种精神，但是这种精神包括两个方面endurance and consistency，所以我认为还是复数
