(D), 順眼順口

A, text (like) modern library

B, though (they), ---> who ?

C, the 2nd (as) ?

E, (acted) like modern libraries
(act) --> two verbs

我会选A

B改变原意；C用as不好；

JerryGuan

我只能看出来是B或是D；因为不知道while这样的用法行不行，所以最后，挣扎着选了B。

其他NN讨论

   我选A：

   B，D的like...比较意思错了，while clearly less accessible to outsiders这个部分不like现代图书馆

   C中as...as引起歧义

   E有点莫名其妙，后面拐下来的那行是不是也算答案

JerryGuan

你不觉得A中的like 短语紧跟texts（ like modern libraries），没有修饰歧义吗？

dreadpower

   是可能有歧义，但是比较了，其他都不好啊？

   要么就是E？？act like是可以接受的，但是E后面那段拐下来的是什么意思？？

偶选D，marie mm，答案是什么？

这是kaplan上的一道题目，感觉kaplan的东西总有些剑走偏锋，和ets的思路有些不同

kaplan给的答案是A，原因是repositories for text 要比text repositories更idiomatic

不过个人觉得如果算上这条原因，那么每条答案其实都有些问题，或者是缺陷

A. 按照ets的思路，like的位置确实有产生歧义之嫌；

B. 除 text repositories之外， they 也有指代不清的嫌疑

C. 将复数的monasteris和单数的library比较，出现了问题。（另这里的第二个as倒不能和第一个连起来作为as...as,而是monasteries served as .., as do modern libraries.）

D. while clearly less accessible to outsiders的位置造成歧义，有修饰modern libraries的可能

E. acted like modern libraries act，like有问题，起码也该是as，何况两个act，十分的awkward

如果以上缺陷都成立，那么我现在的问题是，哪些缺陷在选项时罪不可恕，哪些又是白璧微瑕，无伤大雅呢?

dreadpower

     这就是我选A的原因，我觉得歧义比较无伤大雅。。。因为毕竟只是歧，不是错。我们可以按照正确的方式来理解
