大全 3

1.                             A collection of 38 poems by Phillis Wheatley, a slave, was published in the 1770’s, the first book by a Black woman and it was only the second published by an American woman.fficeffice" />

(A) it was only the second published by an American woman

(B) it was only the second that an American woman published

(C) the second one only published by an American woman

(D) the second one only that an American woman published（E）

(E) only the second published by an American woman

1， ‘only' in E modifies 'the second' and in C 'only' modifies 'published'. what's the problem with C?

2,     there should have a 'one' after ' the second'?

我有问题：only为什么是修饰the second的？既然是the second当然就只有一个了，而且从句意来看only修饰published更合适一些。

另外，前面说了the first book 难道后面不是the second one更对称吗？

请大虾指教，谢谢

如果only published是说仅由an American woman publish的。

而原句的意思是仅仅是第二本。

所以改变only的位置就改变了原意。
