og解释说:The placement of now is awkward in C,为什么awkward?
135. Intar, the oldest Hispanic theater company in New York, has moved away from the Spanish classics and now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United States.
(A) now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of
(B) now draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors, both those who live abroad and those who live
(C) it draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors now, both those living abroad and who live
(D) draws now on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and who are
(E) draws on the works now of both contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and those
In choices A and C, it intrudes between the halves of the compound verb has moved... and [now] draws to introduce a new grammatical subject, thereby creating a run-on sentence:the inclusion of it requires a comma after classics to set off the new independent clause (以此类推,and 连接并列句,如果第二句中出现主语的话,则and前一定要有逗号隔开). The placement of now is awkward in C(状语位置导致笨拙), and the construction living abroad... and who is not parallel in C and D. Misplacement of words creates ambiguity in E: for example, the positioning of both immediately before the phrase describing the authors suggests that there are only two contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad (E从并列的角度去讲也不是很好). The logical word placement and parallel phrasing of B, the best choice, resolve such confusions.
Both 在E中出现的歧义还是要非常小心,因为both…and…本身就是一个经常考的词组。Now的位置在B中也是最好,最清晰的。
