OMA：E

这道题，我的疑惑就是我就是真的没明白。而且我还老觉得E的so前面为什么不加个and……但是总的一句话，就是不明白……感谢各位高手赐教啊！！！

so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform,只是个插入成分，并不是和前面的so。。。并列，所以不用and
但是我认为如果改成 and so persistent was her...也是对的

不是NN，我的看法：
考得是so....that...结构，所以ABD排除，第二个so引导的短语是修饰前半句，并不是跟第一个句子并列。C拿掉了so，读来不太顺。我就选E了。

陪LZ等NN指点

so that 结构，前半句倒装，还原后为
Frances Perkins' investigations of the garment industry  were so dogged , her lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.
上来可排除ABD，CE作比较，E采用的同样so提前的倒装结构，和前面对称，比C好。另外，E中省略了be动词。

就是C和E的问题~ 我很奇怪，如果要是E加上be动词，加上一个and我就没疑问了~ 既然这样，我觉得就是一个插入语。那位什么C不对？

总结下就是第二个 so.......其实就是个插入语修饰第一个so......., 可以直接忽略. 而且这个

选E而不选C是因为E的平行更好些吧～？
应该加个and啊～。。。原话是有的。。摘自NYTIMES (下面这段话的第4行～）

Penny Colman, who has written about Dorothea Dix and Fannie Lou Hamer, is equally thorough, fair and candid in her treatment of Frances Perkins. A native of Massachusetts, Perkins graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1902 and became a professional social worker in the New York charity world in which Eleanor Roosevelt volunteered. So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov. Al Smith, and later by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to work within New York State government, rather than against it. This prepared her to be President Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor, a job which then encompassed health and welfare as well as labor. Perkins's tenure witnessed the greatest period of organization in American labor history. She unequivocally supported the right to organize and bargain collectively, and used her considerable influence with the President to prevent him from restraining strikes by longshoremen and automobile workers. Yet she always had more confidence in the Federal Government than in organized labor as an instrument of social justice, and she devoted most of her efforts to protecting workers through maximum-hour and minimum-wage regulations.

不能说C怎么不对，只能说E比C好。谨记，G的答案是比出来的。
而且，GMAC会把很多原来很正常的句子改的不正常，就不要太深究了。
