Remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, one of the proudest of family legends.
Remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, one of the proudest of family legends.
Almost an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims is the digging in the early 1900s of Chicago’s subway tunnels, one of the proudest of family legends.
Digging Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims remember it almost as an epic and it is the one of the proudest of family legends.
America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims remember almost as an epic the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, one of the proudest of family legends.
One of the proudest of family legends, remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims, is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s.
选项3是最容易排除的，指代词使用混乱，digging的主语并不是muslims，放在句首有动词分词的嫌疑，而原文是指digging这个事件本身是动名词。
选项1&2都是倒装句，还原后如下：
选项1. The digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, (one of the proudest of family legends), is remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims.
选项2. The digging in the early 1900s of Chicago’s subway tunnels, (one of the proudest of family legends), is almost an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims
选项4 remember sth as sth简单换了个位置
选项4：America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims remember [almost as an epic] the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s, (one of the proudest of family legends).
选项5：One of the proudest of family legends, (remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims), is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s.
选项1&2结构上何其相似，局部某些成分的顺序调动了并不构成主要语法错误，remembered 是否被省略也不是核心错误。
1，2，4句删除括号里的成分之后，会发现被记住的都是digging，所以底下很多解释说the digging is remembered almost as an epic这样不对。我认为这也不是核心错误，digging, legend, epic本身就是连环指代。epic有壮举的意思啊，可以指digging itself。
官方说的modifier要尽量靠近修饰的词，是指one of the proudest of family legends如果作为digging的同位语，应该尽可能靠近digging。然而the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s本身就是一个不太好分割的名词性结构，one of the proudest of family legends插到哪里都不合适，放在末尾又有修饰subway tunnels的嫌疑。换成选项5的表达才能彻底避免这种主词和modifier被过长分割的状况出现。
现在我们来看选项5， (remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims) 作为 family legends的补足语，就紧随其后了。完美！One of the proudest of sth is sth，也是一个无歧义的结构。
一句话概括：这题考察的知识点是modifier要尽量靠近修饰的词。
（果然边写分析才能理清楚所有的语法点。）

其他选项均表达the digging is remember almost as an epic
B：Digging这个动作是一个壮举 is an epic
C：it无指代
D：the digging is remebered as a epic同A
E:one of the prodest legend is the digging,(legend is remembered as an epic)
E是最直接的，the digging是一个传奇，这个传奇被铭记为一个壮举
ABD都是digging 被铭记
E 根据语义：, remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims, （作为同位语modifier）靠近修饰 One of the proudest of family legends（√）
One of the proudest of family legends （, remembered almost as an epic among America’s 12,000 Bosnian Muslims,） is the digging of Chicago’s subway tunnels in the early 1900s.
1900 年代早期芝加哥地铁隧道的挖掘（，在美国 12,000 名波斯尼亚穆斯林中几乎被视为一部史诗，）是最引以为豪的家族传奇之一。
A和D：one of the proudest of family legends离the digging远，就近修饰the early 1900s （×）
B：少了Remembered almost as，信息缺失 （×）
C：remember it almost as an epic and it is：有两个it，有歧义。digging在原句合理逻辑上是作为名词n.，现在变为状语，逻辑重心和语义改变 （×）
E. 按照它字面想表达的意思理解: family legends 被当作是an epic (许多的传奇故事可以被看作是一卷史诗, 单复数没问题), 其中一个family legends是the digging. 这样理解毫无歧义. ok
A: 被视作epic的因该是family legends，【挖隧道】这个事情 只是legends 其中之一。 同时one of the proudest of family legends修饰谁不清楚（离修饰的东西太远了）
B: 同A的原因1
C：同A原因1（it 指代的挖隧道≠epic） 原因2：用ving，表示这里挖隧道的是Bosnian Muslims，然而 挖隧道的因该是Bosnian Muslims的前辈。
D：同A原因1 ，不过解释没说as an epic的位置有没有问题，感觉没有问题吧。
digging...不能remembered任何东西，A错
2.修饰词位置，the proudest of family legends修饰对象不明。AB错（B说the digging 是 one of the proudest...）
3.C选项，digging tunels的不是这12000muslims，而是他们的祖先，C错
典型的靠句意做的题，没搞清楚digging，an epic和one of legneds的关系，就容易做错。
legends被人们当作an epic，其中一个legends是the digging...
B. E is E, one is L
C. D, R it as E and it is L
D. R as E D, one is L
E. L, is R as E, is D
只有E是把 L和E直接联系的 one of the Legends is remembered almost as an Epic 坑爹啊
D: remember改成was remembered也不对，其后面是一个倒装都使用，就这点来说没错，错的是，remember动作都发出者不应该是Muslims，当然Muslims也不应该是该动作都接受者。
