3. Greatly influenced by the Protested missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution. A. was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided B. was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided C. alone among the five-nation Iroquois League sided D. were the only ones out of the five nations of Iroquois League in siding E. only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided
答案是C。F大侠在笔记中说'the Oneida表示民族时用复数概念', 我同意C这个选项,但对这个解释存在置疑,如下理由: the Oneida = one of the five-nation Iroquois League。既然是one nation,应该是集合名词的单数意义,那么谓语要用单数was。 如果是这样,那么A的错误是否在别的地方,例如sided不是修饰Iroquois League,而是修饰the Oneida。所以A的正确表达应该是was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League, siding
请路过的NN指点!感激
