(A)Selling several hundred thousand copies in six months, the publication of “MapleLeaf Rag” in 1899 was an instant hit, helping to establish Scott Joplin as thepreeminent ragtime composer.
Selling,the publication逻辑关系错。publication不能sell，只有作品才能sell。

这道题答案选E 我选的A
我觉得A和E都一样啊 大全给的解释我很不理解publication不能selling，只有作品才能selling
我的问题是作品不是publication吗？两者有区别吗？publication不是出版物吗？作品不是也可以当成出版物么？
太晕了 纠结

还有A的后面，helping，逻辑主语为publication，不合理。
E直接用it指代Maple LeafRag，逻辑合理。

因为是publication of sth，所以这里的publication是"the process of printing a book, magazine etc and offering it for sale"的意思。publication要作为出版物的意思的话，后面不会有of修饰的。
