这题中的  a black American or black Americans 并没有歧义 但是 GMAT中偏向前一种 ,毕竟前面说的是一个人的作品  如果是多个人的作品  想必不会这样表示  但是这个不能作为绝对的错误 只能说GMAT 更倾向哪一个
其主要的错误在于 破折号前后的平行问题  前面的主语是JT‘s cane是书  所以和后面是书是最后的平行方式 LZ的疑问虽然也是接的书 但是形式上没有E的好  RW’sns andIE 's Im  
选项中选择最好的形式   所以选择E选项了 这题我本来也有疑问  但是看了大家的解释  毛瑟顿开  希望能帮到你

"don't split on word choice first. that's not a smart way to split.

go with grammar first.
in this case, parallel structure is pretty easy. the sentence makes it clear that you're comparing novels, not their authors, so (a), (c), and (d) are instantly out because their second halves mistakenly mention the people themselves as part of the comparison.
(b) is not as parallel as (e), either. since the original says "jean toomer's cane", the others should also have the form "X's Y", not "Y by X".

--

word choice is a sticky thing. for instance, it's actually better to say "birds have a four-chambered heart" than to say "birds have four-chambered hearts", because the former makes it clear that each bird has exactly 1 heart. both, however, are acceptable.
in a similar vein, the construction of (d) and (e) makes it more clear that each book has exactly 1 author.

remember - don't question correct answers; learn from them." (RonPurewal from ManhattanGMAT)

GWD-9-Q1

A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer’s Canehas been called one of the three best novels ever written byBlack Americans—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man.



A.Black Americans—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

B.Black Americans—including Native Son by Richard Wright and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

C.a Black American—including Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

D.a Black American—the others being Richard Wright, author of Native Son, and Ralph Ellison, author of Invisible Man

E.a Black American—the others being Richard Wright’s Native Sonand Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man

首先,主语是one of…written by,所以要用a black amaricans.
其次,one of 不可能including…
再次,破折号后面接the others being是常见用法
(白勇P8)可以引出:做补充说明的句子或短语、同位语、插入语、列举的事物。
Nytimes 例子:
Out of five sales advertised to be held only one resulted in a sale -- all the others being adjourned.

A panel of thirty was exhausted, out of whom but five were sworn--four of the others being peremptorily challenged, and twenty-one being set aside for cause.

而且特别注意,前面有数字提示,of 30 people4 wasthe others being很常用
Five of the workmen had to be released by the firemen- the others being able to get out themselves;

最后,而且书名大多用所有格表述,且与前面一致
Along with Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man, publication of Jean Toomer’s creative montage Cane (1923) was a defining moment in Harlem’s era of artistic experimentation.

这道题在划线的前面部分已经表示的很清楚:Jean Toomer's Cane has been called one of the three best novels ever written by...

因为Jean Toom是一个人,所以不存在Black Americans的歧义,应该是a Black American. 而three best novels决定了后面的部分应该是小说的书名作为对应。答案是E.

为什么一本书只能被一个人写??
