246. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again. (A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again (B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again (C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status (D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again (E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
Key: C, agree. The question here is the highlighted after death, gramatically it should refer to reputation in first priority, rather than to composer, therefore causing confusing, am I right?
答案C没有问题,但是OG11对d的解释是:The verb tenses are inconsistent with present tense used in the first phrase; redundant again. ,问题是如果将d该为:who declines in reputation after death and who never regains popularity. 是不是就行了呢?三个who非常罗嗦,而且前两个who之间有逗号,但第二格和第三个之间却用and连接,非常怪异啊。
