选A
Parallelism; Logical predication This sentence introduces Deborah Sampson with a description of Sampson when she first enlisted, and goes on to describe her career in the Continental Army. Th e information about her historical signifi cance interrupts the chronological fl ow of the sentence and must therefore be set off with commas. Th e sequence of events that marks her career must be presented as a parallel series of items.
A Correct. Th e phrase that describes Deborah Sampson as the fi rst woman to draw a soldier’s pension intervenes between the subject and predicate of the main verb and thus is appropriately set off with commas; the three verbs in the main clause are in parallel form. B While being … indicates that Sampson was injured at the same time she was discharged from the Army. C Discharged should be in passive voice—was discharged—because Sampson did not do this herself. D Injured needs to be in passive voice. E having been injured … indicates that all Sampson’s injuries as well as her discharge occurred in 1783
我选了D,不可以把injured three times看作插入语么? 还有这句句子结构到底是怎样了,大家帮我分析下吧
one should "injured" sth even himself or "was injured". "Injure" meaning cause damage "to", so it requires a N.
This is just one critical error with D.
If you are saying, "she was discharged in 1773 because she was ill", you are saying "she was NOT ill until 1773 and because of that, she was discharged in the same year." This certianlly did distort the meaning of original sentence, which uses "become" to describe a before-after status.
