So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov. Al Smith, and later by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to work within New York State government, rather than against it.
选项分析:
A选项:本选项中没有so that结构,其使得划线部分和其身前的部分不平行。
B选项:本选项错误同(A)。
C选项:本选项可以看作独立主格,其错误的原因就在于并没有表示出her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent也是recruited的原因之一。即便是分句,后面有了that,那么so that结构应该完整。
D选项:本选项虽然有so that结构,但是划线部分和其身前部分依然不平行。
E选项:Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。So..that..是个很完美的结构, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform前面的and去掉了,说明并不是与前面的so dogged were Frances Perkins' investigations of the garment industry做并列成分,而是做了从属成分(独立主格),是so dogged…的详细说明。但同时因为两者都是recruited Perkins的原因,所以用了相同结构。
The part of the sentence between the first two commas (“so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform”) is an absolute phrase, an elaboration on the words “so dogged Frances Perkins’ investigation of the garment industry”, placed in apposition.
So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.
C选项:本选项可以看作独立主格,其错误的原因就在于并没有表示出her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent也是recruited的原因之一。即便是分句,后面有了that,那么so that结构应该完整。为什么独立主格也要加 so才能表示原因?
我也想问,为什么不是so ... and so balalaba that
非要有独立主格

1 question. 为什么这个地方 E 做独立主格就是对的,C 就是错的?
怎么把我的提问吞了?因为太幼稚了吗?。。类似这种伴随分句在中间的情况,——so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, 它是不是规定只能必须往前修饰呢?能往后修饰吗?
形容词在前面倒装显得更高级而已...我猜

我只想问,这种题考试多不多…>_
错选了c
RON说This is a really, really old problem (over 10 years old, if it's in "set 27"). The current GMAT won't test such oddly constructed sentences, so it's best to forget about this one altogether. 给这题跪了
说的不对哟~GMAT永远不会测试语法,它只是利用不同的语法结构测试我们的推理能力。所以,题目没有新旧。
毕出老师,我看另一个曼哈顿的导师的帖子上面回复说E选项:THIS IS THE PROPER PARALLEL STRUCTURE. IT ALSO PROPERLY INCLUDES THE WORD "THAT" TO INTRODUCE THE FOLLOWING SUBORDINATE CLAUSE. HOWEVER, IN MY OPINION, THE WORD "AND" SHOULD BEGIN THIS ANSWER CHOICE. I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN MISTAKENLY EXCLUDED. NONETHELESS, THIS IS THE BEST CHOICE.

错选了C。。。
我就是看E前面没and所以没选。。。
对啦,这个题正确选项值得琢磨
