答案是B，E为什么不对，OG解释是that指代不清。可在比较句中不都是这么用吗？例如：His car is better than that of his boss.

这道题的解释我都看过了，但就是不明白整个句子的结构。

我感觉结构是: Bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, whose..,..and....influenced...also inspired....,whose music....

怎么也看不出主句的谓语是什么。。。就是Bill Monroe的谓语。。

我的语法很差，请明白的人指教。谢谢啦

1、that of his own与that of his boss不同。

先说that of his boss：

his boss中his是修饰词，中心词是boss。所以that of his boss可以简化成that of boss，是一般所有格。（我认为that of his boss也是错的，正确的应该是his boss' car，因为boss是有生命的物体，所有格用A's B才对。没有生命的物体的所有格是B of A。）

再看that of his own：

his own＝his，加上形容词own只是更加强调是自己的。注意own是形容词，his也是形容词，所以his own两个形容词在一起形成一个复合形容词。这里that of his own就相当于that of his，不是一般所有格，而是形成了双重所有格。这里用双重所有格肯定是错误的。

2、主干：

Bill Monroe inspired many musicians。

including Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia...是句末定语补充many musicians的。

whose repertory, views on musical collaboration, and vocal style 
                    influenced generations of bluegrass artists这是一个完整的定语从句修饰Bill Monroe ，从句的主语是三个并列名词repertory， views and vocal style，从句的谓语是influenced。

谢谢LS。 我是把inspired也看成了从句的另一个谓语和influenced并列了。。。尤其又用了一个also，所以更看不出来是Bill Monroe的谓语了。。
