Although various eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American poets had professed an interest in Native American poetry and had pretended to imitate Native American forms in their own works, until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study traditional Native American poetry in native languages.
until almost 1900, scholars and critics did not begin seriously to study
until almost 1900 scholars and critics had not begun seriously studying
not until almost 1900 were scholars and critics to begin seriously to study
it was not almost until 1900 when scholars and critics began to seriously study
it was not until almost 1900 that scholars and critics seriously began studying
根据原文可知study这个动作在之前就存在,只不过是到了1900年开始seriously。属于状态的持续而不是转变,故用doing而不是to do
这里犯了“夹心”错误
我们可以这样理解:1.虽然18,19世纪的美国诗人就对当地诗歌感兴趣并意图模仿,直到1900,学者才开始学习。。
(这里是指学者从18.19世纪直到1900都感兴趣并意图模仿)
2.虽然18,19世纪的美国诗人就对当地诗歌感兴趣并意图模仿,直到1900,学者才开始学习。。
(这里是指学者只在18,19世纪感兴趣,但是到1900才开始学习)

补充一点:强调句强调时间状语Or地点状语,貌似也是用that;没有用when 或者 where,个人感觉,没查证过
教训总结:不要纠结是ing还是to do;这不是考点;
注意:

D Not almost until is a nonsensical sequence of

E Correct. Th e phrase not until almost 1900 is
properly placed, and the verb in the main
clause is in the simple past tense.

A Th e
placement of the phrase until almost 1900 at the
beginning of the second clause is confusing. Does
it refer back to the fi rst verb or forward to the
next verb?

老师这道题不该用begin to do 么?我认为这个begin对study的约束力算强的吧
