OG 249
Bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, whose repertory, views on musical collaboration, and vocal style were influential on generations of bluegrass artists. was also an inspiration to many musicians, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia. whose music differed significantly from his own.

A. were influential on generations of bluegrass artists, was also an inspiration to many musicians, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music differed significantly from
B. influenced generations of bluegrass artists, also inspired many musicians, including Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music differed significantly from
C. was influential to generations of bluegrass artists, was also inspirational to many musicians, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was different significantly in comparison to
D. was influential to generations of bluegrass artists, also inspired many musicians, who included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, the music of whom differed significantly when compared to
E. were an influence on generations of bluegrass artists, was also an inspiration to many musicians, including Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was significantly different from that of
B, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and without agreement errors or redundancy. In A and E, the phrases were influential on and were an influence on are not idiomatic and furthermore could be replaced by the more direct influenced. In A, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia improperly modifies many musicians. In E, the construction different from that of his own is confusing since there is no referent for that: different from his own makes a logical comparison. Both C and D begin with the singular was; the compound subject of this verb is plural: repertory, views on musical collaboration, and vocal style. Both choices also may be faulted for wordiness and redundancy in their use of was different significantly in comparison to and differed significantly when compared to. In C, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia improperly modifies many musicians. Finally, the music of whom in D is cumbersome and stilted.
According to the explanation of OG, in chioce A and C, "that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia" improperly modifies "many musicians". Pls give me some further explanation for why "that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia" cannot properly modify "many musicians" here.

我觉得有两个原因：
1、THAT作为限定性定语从句的关系代词，一般不在非限定性定语从句中使用。
2、即便many musicians that.....，变成了限定性定语从句，消除了语法错误，但是在意思上也对many musicians进行了限制，似乎many musicians只有那两个哥哥。

" 即便many musicians that.....，变成了限定性定语从句，消除了语法错误，但是在意思上也对many musicians进行了限制，似乎many musicians只有那两个哥哥。"

没看懂嗄，many musicians that included A and B 的意思怎么会只有那两个人呢？

笨鸟说~~限定非限定，局部和整体的关系，到底怎么区别呀？请指教！

up!请哪位高手帮忙呀~~

Bluegrass musician Bill Monroe was also an inspiration to many musicians, that included Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia.

首先就像BraveMBA版主说的, that多半不用于非限定定语从句( N , that )

再者, 如果当成定语从句就变成错误的意思: 当many musician没有包括 E.P 和 J.G时, 对他们来说就不是个inspiration

可以看一下86年OG对补充题25的解释....

限定就是，除了以外还有其他的,describe,

非限定就是，所有都是这样的，defined

Confused !!

The subject is Bill Monroe, verb should be "inspired",  why use "also inspired"?  Thanks.

bon

also means two actions,influence and inspire.

Thank you for your response.  I do think the SUBJECT for VERB "influence" is "whose Repertory .... and vocal style", and a VERB need for the SUBJECT "Bill Monroe".  Could you please tell me the structure of this sentence?  I appreciate.
