3-10与5-1 看讨论到无语啊

我之前也选的c，但是，读了之后发现E确实比较合适。so adj be n (倒装) 与 so adj be n (倒装) 并列，that.....，看似十分完美的并列啊。而且也符合ETS的出题习惯。

不过，我做的版本已经被前辈NN们改过了，E选项有and了。呵呵，还做错，很惭愧啊。

再看这题,我更晕了....

选E的话,究竟主语是什么>???

NN能解答吗???

So + adj. + be + n., （and） so adj. (be) n., that ....

看了nn的解释，我才知道be是可以省略的。前面两个平行的句子倒装。正过来是 Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were So dogged ,her lobbying for wage and hour reform  (was ) so persistent, that ....    我觉得倒装的好处是能让两个so的平行很明显，容易理解。

逗号能否充当并列关系？
        

答案是能. OG37有类似用法: only if it is taught as a separate, required course

这样的形容词连接确实有，

但是so 的并列是不是这样也能成立，有待考证。。。。

但是E还是最完美的平行结构

那个应该是形容词并列的方法 adj , adj 或者adj and adj，后者强调2者并列关系，但是这个连接2个单词的用法并不能说明逗号有连接复杂结构的能力，这里我觉得应该选C.

我觉得原文是可以起到参考作用的但不能成为我们做题的一句，很难说ETS会把一些句子糅合进自己的考点加以变化，既然有人考到了，可以求证下哦。C里面除了不如E平行,但是并没有错误，插入的独主成分。

if the answer is E, why there's no "be" verb(is) after persistent just like "were" after "dogged"? can someone help me?

选E，考点1: so x so y that z. y的谓语部分跟x的一致情况下，可以省略。

考点2： 所有格平行，her lobbying and Frances Perkins'investigation平行。 Her指代Frances Perkins' 

参考一下国外的论坛的讨论。

You are correct that "So X...That Y" is idiomatic. Thus, "So dogged were her investigations" requires a "that" prior to "Alfred Smith and Franklin Roosevelt." Eliminate A and D. 

To me, your second question more concerns parallelism than strictly idiomatic construction. The two initial clauses in the sentence are comparable sentence components and thus must be presented in a manner that is structurally similar. The only choice that does so is answer choice E: "so dogged/ so persistent" is correct. Choice C, by removing the second "so," lacks proper parallelism. 

As for your final question, her lobbying and Frances Perkins' lobbying are equivalent. The use of the possessive pronoun "her" simply makes the sentence less unwieldy and less repetitive. 

Hope that helps.

Quote:

So dogged were Frances Perkins’investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.  A. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,  B. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that  C. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that  D. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,  E. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that  Please explain this  So far I know that so x that y is an idiom. Some where in the reply it was mentioned that so x,so y that z is also an idiom.  My next question in this sentence "Frances Perkins’investigations " is possessive describing investigations of Frances Perkins and later mentioned her lobbying . So my question is  her lobbying equivalent to Frances Perkins's lobbying ( as her can be used as possessive pronoun)

请看第9页  此题的原文被找到   答案E少了个and。。。错题。。。

我再来个了断吧：

今天做PREP，遇到此题，没有and（至少从ETS的角度不是错题），标准答案为E。

感觉此题的逻辑意思和平行很重要。但是完整的解释还是期待OG12收录此题吧。

一路看下来，感觉前人很牛啊！
