这篇可能是我看过最最晦涩的了

ps. A third "split" that could have guided your process of eliminate was the "more research" v. "that more research." Since the non-underlined portion of the sentence states "researchers agreed that," a second "that" is needed to maintain proper parallelism.

曼哈顿官方：The first "split" I noticed was "preceded by" v. "preceded with." As one thing is preceded by another, eliminate choices A and D. The second "split" I noticed was "needed for determining" v. "needed to determine." Idiomatically, needed to determine is correct. Eliminate B and E. The best answer is C.

关注核心词之间的逻辑语义变化

我竟然是认识paternalistic不认识squire

c 选项后半句的动词时态为 HAD+ED过去完成时， 和前面 when句子中的 过去时，冲突。

ron：
if you write "when X, Y"...
Y has to be IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME as X.

that's the whole point of the "when" construction.

the "had ___ed" tense implies a DIFFERENT (earlier) timeframe, so, it's nonsense in that context.

c选项，最后的a call for female enfranchisement had been included in it. 这个 IT 产生歧义， 指的是Declaration of Sentiments 还是指Convention，语义相对 E 比较模糊。

than the beginning of the year 不是 the quarter 别看错

一年12个月 我除的10 真的很粗心
