OG11reviw-104 (OG12 review-101)
104．The Federalist papers，a strong defense of the United States Constitution and important as a body of work in political science as well．represents the handiwork of three different authors．
(A)and important as a body of work in political science as well，represents
(B)as well as an important body of work in political science，represent
(C)and also a body of work of importance in political science is representing
(D)an important body of work in political science and has been representative of
(E)and as political science an important body of work too, represent

The correct answer is B．

我想问的是既然将The Federalist papers作为复数用了represent，为啥相对应的修饰语如a strong defense等用单数呢？
谢谢。

a strong defense的部分作为同位语修饰papers，同位语修饰的时候不要求必须单复数一致，这一点我肯定。同位语可以抽象概括前面的部分，所以主语papers谓语复数直接锁定BE,由and前后并列原则选B（E里面as破坏了并列）~
