OG 10 86题 Having the right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War. Horace Pippin, a Black American painter, worked by holding the brush in his right hand and guiding its movements with his left
(A) Having the right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(B) In spite of his right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(C) Because there had been a sniper's bullet during the First World War that crippled his right hand and arm
(D) The right hand and arm being crippled by a sniper's bullet during the First World War
(E) His right hand and arm crippled by a sniper's
bullet during the First World War
选E 下面是解释：
In E, the best answer, the construction His right hand... crippled clearly and grammatically modifies
the subject of the sentence, Horace Pippin. In A, the use of the two participles Having and being is
ungrammatical. Choice B is awkward and changes the meaning of the original statement: the point
is that Pippin's method of painting arose because of, not in spite of, his injury. Choice C is wordy
and awkwardly places the clause beginning that crippled... so that it appears to modify the First
World War rather than bullet. In choice D, The should be His, and being should be omitted.

我感觉其它的选项也不对，但是E开头的这种说法可以吗？ |
