(C) A sense offamily lies inside of the boundaries of artistic rivalry
(D) A family senselies within artistic rivalry’s boundaries（A）
(E) Withinartistic rivalry’s boundaries lays a family sense


正确答案是A, 为什么 Within the boundaries of artistic rivalry 谓语可以用 单数，是不是因为有within在？

Hi Luxe,
You first need to identify the subject of this sentence. Look at the sentence, "Within the boundaries of artistic rivalry lies a sense of family." The sentence is inverted, so its subject "a sense of family" comes after its verb "lies". Let me show you another similar example:
Inverted: "Near a lake sits a house."  
Normal: "A house sits near a lake."

A 中的lies表示的是位于。。。
B  lays
lay  [lei]
v.置放；铺；产(蛋，卵)；设置；主张
lay  [lei]  
lie的过去式
v. 击，放置，产卵，使平静，打赌，压平，设计
n. 隐蔽处，计划，价格，生蛋，叙事诗，诗歌
adj. 世俗的，外行的


这里的lays 表示下蛋  的意思， 逻辑不符合
所以选A
