从考试的角度来看 代词指代的问题最常见的是单复数问题 和 特指及泛指问题 指代混淆往往不是解题的关键 呵呵 虽然OG解释里面有很多关于指代混淆 但那是美国人的语法逻辑 看本题 D错在 ragtime composer, published B 错在in six months they 单复数错误 A Selling several hundred thousand copies in six months, the publication of “Maple Leaf Rag” in 1899 was an instant hit, selling的逻辑主语是 publication 错误 C “Maple Leaf Rag” was an instant hit 正确的是 publication was an hit E的逻辑表达很清晰
我上面的C 表达有点错误 呵呵 "C “Maple Leaf Rag” was an instant hit 正确的是 publication was an hit C 中的which 指代错误 正确的是" Maple Leaf Rag” was an instant hit E中 it 指代“Maple Leaf Rag”
