两个问题请指教:

1. 整句话是什么意思

2. C选是正确答案.但是HER CHARMING AND...,这个HER 指代是OLIVER吗?这样的指代在语法来说常见和正确吗?

1、意思
The plot f The Bostonians centers on the rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom, plot 主语，center on谓语，rivalry 宾语

when they find themselves drawn to the same radiant young woman (whose talent for publick speaking has won her(woman) an ardent following.)

2、her 只可能是指代 Olive

第一个her是指代Olive，但是第二个呢？好像就不是了，难道一个句子中her可以指代不同事物？
貌似在哪里见过这道题的讨论，但是找不到了~~

我觉得指代的是 the same radiant young woman

PS 如果对于整句理解的正确的话，整句的意思是指表妹和表哥同时喜欢一个女孩子。。。

A.rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
B. rivals  Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, against her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
C.rivalry that develops between  Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom,her charming and cynical cousin,
我认为前一个her是指代an active feminist,第二个是指代B,之所以可以不同指代是因为第二个her是属于whose从句中的内容,肯定是指代young WOMAN。
关于你的第二个问题:
C.rivalry that develops between  Olive Chancellor, an active feminist,and Basil Ransom,her charming and cynical cousin,
是两两平行,两个蓝色的部分分别对两个黄色部分进行说明.拆开看是 O and B ，an active feminist  and her charming ...her指代an active feminist

abjure

题目根据平行对称可以选对，但是意思总是读不出来  an ardent following； drawn to （这种词正要命）
这道题的句意读不懂，有哪位NN可以帮忙解答下。谢谢。

原来是表哥表妹喜欢同一个人啊。。。。。第一个her实在搞不明白。。。。。

这题考语法的同时，考了个常识，Basil是个男子名，所以her 一定指Oliva。变态啊~~~~~

我的疑问在于，一个女孩子和她的表哥同时被一个出色的lady所吸引？？这样的逻辑貌似有点。。
哪位能帮大略翻一下整句话的意思。。。Thanks a lot!
