Scholars who once thought Native American literatures were solely oral narratives recorded by missionaries or anthropologists now understand this body of work to consist of both oral literatures and the written works of Native American authors, who have been publishing since 1772.

 

1. Scholars who once thought Native American literatures were solely oral narratives
2. Scholars thinking of Native American literatures once solely as oral narratives, and
3. Scholars who once had thought of Native American literatures solely as oral narratives and
4. Native American literatures, which some scholars once thought were solely oral narratives
5. Native American literatures, which some scholars once, thinking they were solely oral narratives

D,E很好排除，但是A与C有点犹豫。选C的理由是看到了think of as结构，哪位NN能解释一下？

答案选a吧？原句recorded应该是修饰narrativs，c变成了与had thought平行，并且不符合逻辑。同时副词solely位置也有问题啊

look further. you have  "now understand this body of work to ................." following as the Verb of the sentence.

Scholar must be the subject.

C makes no sense  to say "scholars" "recorded by"

首先 Scholars who once had thought of Native American literatures solely as oral narratives and recorded by missionaries or anthropologists

若是选C recorded和had thought of 并列 共同修饰scholars  完全错误 本意 recorded后面是修饰oral narratives 的

其次 once thought ——now understand

正好很平行对称  C中的过去完成时明显没有过去是好

我认为最根本的问题在于时态,过去完成时必须表示:过去的过去,  而这里只有过的时间和现在的时间(now  understand) 相比照，所以只有用一般过去时才合适。如果用过去完成时（如c所云），那么时间参照点在哪里？读者会以为还有一个动作在某一时间发生，而导致句子表达不明确。

往后再读一点会看到"now understand"，所以主语是Scholars, 排除D,E. 同理，前面的"recorded by” 的主语不是scholars， 所以排除B,C。
