(A) the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women have not risen to a comparable extent
(B) the proportion of women judges and partners at major law firms have not risen comparably
(C) the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women has not risen comparably
(D) yet the proportion of women judges and partners at major law firms has not risen to a comparable extent
(E) yet the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women has not risen comparably
正确答案C
问题:
1. 相比较而言C是最好的答案,但有个疑问judges and partners at major law firms who are women ,who are women不应该作为noun modifier需要遵守touch原则从而修饰firms吗?但这显然是不对的;
2. Women judges and partners,OG认为Women只修饰judges。我认为也可以是Women (judges) and (partners)。当然,即使这样,那么就是存在歧义,还是不够好。单纯想知道Women (judges) and (partners)这种形式对不对
