考题讲解

题目分析:
本题很多同学可能不太看的懂题目的意思,从而导致出现错误。所以,这里先来翻译一下:有一个背景可以从新闻看出来,此两位女性(Eleanor Roosevelt/Frances Perkins)是当时男性政治事件中的少数派(男权社会中,女性肯定是少数派),所以不占据功劳,都将功劳让于罗斯福总统的智囊团。题目中的brain trust是“智囊团”的意思。

选项分析:

A选项:本选项的错误主要在于划线部分最后的定语从句部分。先行词public employment, relief, and social security在定语从句中充当主语,即,
public employment, relief, and social security were in large measure what they had been responsible for
in large measure的意思是“在很大程度上”。在逻辑上,不是社会安全等在很多程度上负责,而是这两个女性在很大程度上负责社会安全。因此,必须用two women做were in large measure的主语。

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项:分词短语taking credit在语法上只能是brain trust的定语,这在逻辑上是不正确的。应该是允许某人去做某事才符合常理。

D选项:分词短语错误同(C)。定语从句错误同(A)。

E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
