求助OG 44 题干理解

sunclear

OG 44题目是The passage suggests that the factor mentionedin lines 15–18 complicates professors’ attempts to construct introductoryreading lists for courses in Asian American studies in which of the followingways?

Line 15-18： A complicating factor has been the continuing lack of specialized one-volume reference workson Asian Americans, such as biographical dictionaries or desktop encyclopedias.


我的理解使教授列书单变复杂是因为缺少desktop encyclopedias类的工具书。那factor是什么呢？应该就是指desktop encyclopedias类的工具书吧。如果是这样，那题目是不是应该写成The passage suggests that lacking of the factor mentioned....


这个问题纠结了好久，求牛人释惑~

文章表明：15-18行提到的Factor使得（教授尝试为AA课程做预备阅读书单）复杂化，是通过以下哪种方式？

意思是问你缺少那些东东这个因素，通过怎样的方式使得做书单很复杂

答案是书单不能太难，教授得花心思挑点简单的，因为没参考书，难的学生可能看不懂
