C
我的问题是
1,E选项为什么不对?OG说
This sentence does not make it clear that Olive is a party to the rivalry 意思就是没有说明Olive是这场rivalry中的一员吧。但是读读E,明明说了是Olive,and the rivalry with her cousin啊 ,
2,解释里的rivals X and Y是啥意思,怎么能这样说呢,X和Y指两个rival方?但总要有个主语吧,那样的话,不就是3方rival了吗?比如说 He rivals Tom and Jerry ??< 前面还有个the,那么rival当名词用的时候,后面还有个s
上面rivals的问题已经解决,但还是不明白E。
虽然我可以理解,E的确改变了原意,但E的解释说没有说明Olive是rivalry的一员我不理解。明明说the rivalry with her charming and cynical cousin了。。。 |
