It was not long after the 1930s commenced that such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed to the popularization of a type of romantic, soothing singing that came to be called “crooning.”
A It was not long after the 1930s commenced that such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed to
B Not long after the commencement of the decade of the 1930s, baritone singers such as Bing Crosby and also Russ Columbo decided to contribute in
C Not long after the 1930s commenced, baritone singers like Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed to
D Not long after the beginning of the 1930s commencement, baritone singers like Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo had contributed to
E It was not long after the 1930s commenced that baritone singers such as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo had contributed in

选项解析：This is not a tough question and the correct answer is Choice A. Although the sentence is long and difficult to comprehend, the grammar errors are rather explicit.

Choice A: Correct Answer.
Choice B: Not long after the commencement of the decade of the 1930s is wordy and awkward; and also is wordy and redundant; contribute in is unidiomatic.
Choice C: When introducing examples, we should use such as not like.
Choice D: beginning and commencement are repeated in meaning. Like is not the appropriate word to introduce examples. Past perfect tense is not needed.
Choice E: Past perfect tense is not required; contribute in is unidiomatic.

题目点评：
这道题的A选项是一个强调句。强调句构成如下：
He kissed Lily yesterday.  这句话本身只是一个简单的句子。如果做强调句变化的话，会有如下可能：
It was he who kissed Lily yesterday.         强调是【他】亲地Lily
It was Lily who was kissed by him yesterday.  强调是【Lily】被他亲了
It was yesterday that he kissed Lily.         强调是【在昨天】他亲了Lily
但是不管是那种强调，我们在取出It is/was… that/who(记住：这三者要同时取出)后，原句仍然是一个完整的句子。也就是说，插入这个强调句结构只是为了去强调这个句子中的某一个部分；而去掉强调结构，并不会使得句子不完整，出现fragment的状况。
对于A，如果我们把它理解为一个强调句，那么It, was, 和that三者都应该去掉，句子就会变成：Not long after the 1930 commenced, such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed to the popularization of a type of romantic.
也就是说，逗号前是整个句子的状语【在1930年代开始不久后】，而原句A选项强调的就是这个时间状语。
但是，其实做这道题的时候完全不必如此纠结，去因为这个句子的构成没有完全看懂就不知道该如何下手。在复习的过程中，我们建立起错误层级体系，也就是说：有些错误你一看到它出现，你就明白这个选项一定是错误的。哪怕句子你没有完全理解，但是有这个错误，这个选项就不可能是正确答案。
举个例子说，如果一个选项【主谓单复数不一致】，哪怕这个选项再天花乱坠，你也知道这个选项永远不可能是对的。同理，这道题BE中的contribute in， CD中举例用like而不是such as，这两类错误都是绝对错误，所以BCDE一眼就知道它们一定是错的。
但是，更多关于绝对错误、相对错误以及你对于语法错误判断等级的划分，都是需要你在不断的回顾错题以及复习的过程中去总结的，这个对错误识别的过程光靠别人给你灌输或者看别人的总结是永远不能内化成自己的知识的。

思路点评：
我看大家都在纠结这道题it充当什么成分，以及用法，所以我直接在这里都说了。
这道题比较特殊，it is... that是一个强调句成分，原因在于【语义】。所以，判断强调句还是形式主语的方法，就是通过读句子然后判断语义，你觉得这个句子是在强调某一块东西，然后把【it，is和that】都去掉后句子还是完整句子，那这个句子就是强调句。

那如果我们把这个句子理解成it是形式主语的话，那它指代的就会是【that从句】，也就是【整个that从句】就会去充当句子的主语。那还原成正常语序就变成了：That such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo contributed to the popularization of a type of romantic was not long after the 1930s commenced
这样的话，句子的意思就会是【BC和RC为爱情音乐的普及作出贡献这件事是在1930年代开始不久后发生的】。那这时，还要关注下句尾soothing singing that came to be called “crooning”这个本应修饰romantic的同位语。如果it真的是形式主语的话，那这个同位语又该肿么放置，怎么融入到刚才所表达的那个句子意思中呢~~

但如果是强调句，那句子语序就不会变，只是去掉了it，is，that，就相当于去掉了强调成分，变成了一个【状，主谓宾】的句子。那这时，soothing XXX 还是宾语的同位语，只是句子不再去强调那个状语的时点，没有语气加强的意味罢了~而且，这个时候主语就是 such baritone singers as Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo，而不再是【他们作出贡献这件事情】了~

但，每道题都是特殊的啊~我不想说这道题就能帮助我们真的区分开什么时候是强调句，什么时候是形式主宾语。每道题都有自己的语义，每道题的各个part都组成了各自的逻辑，所以这个东西不好说的。还是，大家一道一道去看，关注句意才是王道！~

呀，今天刚刚模考做错的题，就搜到bat斑斑的讲解了，很精彩~感谢！


我当初读这句子的时候彻底理解错了，理解成"...1930s commenced that ..." 就像 "I thought that ..."这种SVO结构，所以丈二和尚摸不到头脑，想："it was not long after SVO"这句子不完整啊...
其实是我对commence这词理解不透。


btw: 之前总结的question pack #1的正确句子 （那题我也错了，看来对这个强调句型不熟）


Though the artifacts of pre-Columbiancivilization created a stir from the very first European contacts with the New World in the sixteenth century, it was not until thelatter half of the nineteenth century that Western designers, artists and crafters wereinspired to imitate them.


Asimilar sentence OG12 #3:
Although various eighteenth- andnineteenth-century American poets had professed an interest in Native Americanpoetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, it was not until almost1900 that scholarsand critics seriously began studying traditional Native American poetry innative languages.
