885 SEC D 25 as a dancer / as the dancer?

yzlinlin

25.    Dance fans knew Tamara Geva as a soloist in several Ballanchine works, a dancer who introduced his choreography to the United States, and as a star in Broadway theater.
(A) a dancer who introduced
(B) as a dancer which introduced
(C) the dancer to introduce
(D) who introduced
(E) as the dancer who introduced

答案E，agree.

但为什么E中使用the 而非a----如前后平行结构中的a一样？

gemj

因为dancer 的后面有WHO修饰，因此是持指。

有know...as...这个搭配吗？Dance    fans    knew    Tamara    Geva    as    是什么意思呢？

as a soloist in several Ballanchine works和as a star in Broadway theater有状语修饰但为什么却不用THE来修饰soloist和star？是否也能与定从修饰的原则一样应该都用THE？或者都不用THE?请指教，谢谢！

个人之见：

as a soloist in several Ballanchine works及as a star in Broadway theater是泛指，Ballanchine works和Broadway theater中都可能还有其他的soloist和star。

但introduced his choreography to the USA就是特指他的行为（请注意his这个物主代词），所以要用the dancer。
