104. The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely.
(A)    and meat rarely
(B)    and meat was rare
(C)    with meat as rare
(D)    meat a rarity
(E)    with meat as a rarity
The best answer here must qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part of the list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logically and grammatically attach to the main clause when the list is omitted. Choice A fails this test:The diet. . . was largely vegetarian, and meat rarely. D fails also, because it lacks a function word such as with to link it to the main clause. The wording of choice B is imprecise and ambiguous--for example, it could mean that meat was scarce, or that it was not well done or medium. Choice C is unidiomatic. Clearly phrased, grammatically linked, and idiomatically sound, choice E is best.
我的问题如下:
1.    vegetarian 虽然可以做adj,但是其后有解释的vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes 都是名词,所以vegetarian应该是名词吧
2.    largely是adv,怎么可以修饰vegetarian 这个名词
3.    A 是否因为and前面的comma而不好的呢,因为comma是不需要的,因为要和vegetarian 并列,而and 后面只有一个名词,是不是应该是vegetarian and meat 才可以,但是没有and 又不可以和前面的vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes划清界限,所以干脆用with的形式来修饰vegetarian 这样就可以了

我觉得：
1、vegetarian在这里是ADJ，名词变成了diet was vegetarian？
2、---后的内容是解释内容，不必要和前面的词汇有对应关系
3、with ...是修饰diet 的，（包括，如果是and）而且前面必须有comma, 否则就容易混淆成解释内容中的一个部分。

1、我认为这里的vegetarian 是adj,而largely是做adv修饰它的；不能认为后面是名词列举，vegetarian 就应该是名词，我觉得破折号的名词是修饰diet的；
2、a的错并不是comma的问题，如果要和vegetarian 并列的话应该直接用个adj就好了；这里的with...并不是修饰vegetarian ，而是作为adv短语修饰句子主语diet的；
