Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.
(A) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives,
(B) In her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, Beatrix Potter
(C) In her book illustrations, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter
(D) Carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations
(E) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinated them with her narratives and

這題很顯然是在考“介系詞片語In her book illustrations“的修飾關係
(A) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives,
(D) Carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations
(E) Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations, carefully coordinated them with her narratives and
夾在Subject and Verb之間的句中“介系詞片語“修飾Subject(Beatrix Potter),無意義,刪掉

(B) In her book illustrations, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, Beatrix Potter
前後都是Noun.(illustrations/BP),會導致, carefully coordinating them with her narratives, 不知道要修飾誰,會有2種修飾的可能,刪掉

剩下(C)
(C) In her book illustrations, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives, Beatrix Potter capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.
illustrations, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives：她小心的將解釋與她的敘述一致融(意思上ok)
In her book illustrations, Beatrix Potter capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world：BP把她細膩的觀察... capitalized in her book illustrations

谁能把这题翻译一下啊 这尼玛从头看到尾不知道题什么意思 脑袋炸了

为什么coordinating不能做状语呢？

irisa听话

我觉得这题还有个很大的错误就是them并不能指代illustration啊 因为曼哈顿里有说过 代词只能指代中心词 这种藏在介短里的词不能直接用them指代吧 不知道有没有人注意到这个问题呢

我觉得楼上说的有道理，这道题根本找不出them的指代。

16年我还在为这个题头疼。。。不过好像略略有点懂了。。梳理一下自己。。。一定要理解句子的意思。。
原句是想说：BP（在illustritions里coordinate balabala，）capitalize balabala，coordinate的发出者是BP这个人，这个行为是在那个illustration里；
主干信息是capitalize，因此capitalize和coordinate的关系并不是平行，这个是两个独立的非并列的关系。。。
（小的好像梳理通自己的思路了！）

个人理解这部分应该是：BP coordinate book illustrations with her narratives (此句语法和agreement可能 ...

这个解释对我有帮助

从essential modifier vs. non-essential modifier的角度理解，这题很简单。

Nonessential modifier: if you remove it from the sentence, the core of the sentence stillmakes sense. 比如选项C, remove"which-modifier", 句子意思完整，清晰。

Essential modifier: it is necessary in order to understand the meaning of the sentence.

Beatrix Potter, M1, M2, capitalized on her keen observation and love of the natural world.  M1 & M2 are NONESSENTIAL MODIFIERS.

如果去掉M1, M2中的them指代什么？所以，A和B都是错误的，因为没有M1的话，句子意思受影响。

同理，去掉M1, E选项的them意思也不清楚，排除。

D的错误很明显，coordinated ...的逻辑主语应该是illustrations而不是Beatrix Potter.

只有C意思明确，即使没有"in her book illustrations“ 或没有"which she carefully coordinated with her narratives" (去掉任意一个), 句子意思都是完整的。

看下面的一道prep08题目：

ApprovedApril 24, 1800, the act of Congress that made provision for the removal of thegovernment of the United States to the new federal city, Washington, D .C .,also establishedthe Library of Congress.

A.Approved April 24, 1800, the act of Congress that made provision for theremoval of the government of the United States to the new federal city,Washington, D .C ., also established

B. The actof Congress, which was approved April 24, 1800, making provision for theremoval of the government of the United States to the new federal city,Washington, D .C ., also established

C. The actof Congress approved April 24, 1800, which made provision for the removal ofthe government of the United States to the new federal city, Washington, D .C., and established

D.Approved April 24, 1800, making provision for the removal of the government ofthe United States to the new federal city, Washington, D .C ., the act ofCongress also established

E. Approved April 24, 1800, the act of Congressmade provision for the removal of the government of the United States to thenew federal city, Washington, D .C ., also establishing

除了A中"that made provision for ...." 是essential modifier, 其它都是nonessential modifiers 或者是verb...

如果没有that made provision for ... 这个essential modifier，the act of Congress就成了Congress唯一的act了，显然逻辑上是错的，Congress每年有好多acts。

这题的正确答案就是A, 用别的方法思考会让问题变难，而用essential/nonessential modifier，答案就很明显了。
