题目分析:
由于过去分词和过去时长的很像,请千万不要把本题中(B)(C)两个选项中的过去分词published误认为是谓语动词。判断方式非常简单,只要是在逻辑上和主语是被动关系,但在身前却没有be动词的,都是过去分词而不是谓语动词的过去时。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项具有语法错误:both...and…是固定搭配,不能用both…as well as…;另外,请注意,连词in that(in that和because意思相近,都是因为的意思)是没有错误的,在GMAT的官方考题的正确选项中出现过,因此万万不可因为不熟悉in that而排除本选项。
B选项:本选项中published是过去分词,bringing是现在分词,这导致了主句没有谓语动词,可以直接排除。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在逻辑上和语法上均是正确的。
D选项:and后的which是一个定语从句,由于在and前没有出现定语从句,所以which没有平行的对象。关于and的平行问题,参考“功能平行”。
E选项:both…and…固定搭配错误同(A);本选项中现在分词短语winning both the National Book Award是was published的伴随状语,依图形背景原则可知,若本选项正确,则“赢得奖项”和“带来最广泛的称赞”的持续时间必然长于“出版于1982”这个事件。在逻辑上,“赢得奖项”和“带来最广泛的称赞”实际上是一个瞬间完成的事件(例如赢得奖项吧,在瞬间赢得奖项后,会获得“持有奖项”这个状态,即,持有奖项会持续很长时间,但是赢得奖项只有一瞬间。),而“被出版于1982年”则是一个持续到无穷远的状态(在1982年书出版后,它就会一直具有“出版于1982年”这个状态)。因此,publish这个动作应该用做从句,bring这个动作应该用做主句。

Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.
(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(B) published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize
(D) was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, brought her the widest acclaim
(E) was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and bringing her the widest acclaim
After taking a quick glance over the options, a few key differences stand out:
1. which was published / was published / published
2. and / as well as
3. brought / bringing
The best place to start is anything that will knock out either 2 or 3 answers right away, so let's work our way backwards on our list and start with #3: brought vs. bringing. This is clearly an issue with verbs, so let's determine which one is the best to use here.
To begin, we need to find the subject and verb. Here is the original sentence:
Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.
If we cross out all of the modifiers (and there are a few), we're left with this:
Although Alice Walker published a number of essays, poetry collections, and stories during the 1970s, her third novel, The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize.
Once you take out the modifiers, which are mainly there to confuse readers, it's clear that the subject of the sentence is "The Color Purple." And what did The Color Purple do? It brought Alice Walker acclaim! Let's look over each option more carefully to figure out which ones use the right verb to match the subject. I'll still cross out any modifiers to help you see things more clearly.
(A) The Color Purple, which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize --> OK
(B) The Color Purple, published in 1982, bringing her the widest acclaim by winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize --> WRONG
("The Color Purple bringing" isn't the right verb.)
(C) The Color Purple, published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize --> OK
(D) The Color Purple, was published in 1982 and which, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, brought her the widest acclaim --> WRONG
(While this does use the correct verb "brought," it also tries to add another verb "was published" inside a modifier, which is a big no-no because it creates a comma splice! So, let's rule this one out too.)
(E) The Color Purple, was published in 1982, winning both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and bringing her the widest acclaim --> WRONG
(This one is wrong because it uses the incorrect "bringing" and it has a comma splice before "was published.")
We can eliminate options B, D, & E because they use the wrong verbs or have comma splices. Now that we're left with only 2 options to choose from, let's tackle #2 on our list: as well as vs. and.
Whenever we see the word "both" joining two objects, those two objects MUST be joined by the word and:
Both X and Y = CORRECT
Both X as well as Y = WRONG
(A) which was published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim in that it won both the National Book Award as well as the Pulitzer Prize
(C) published in 1982, brought her the widest acclaim, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize
There you go - option C is the correct choice because it uses the correct verb "brought" and uses the idiom "both X and Y" correctly!

although clause,+整句,her third novel, modifier, bought her the wide......才是个完整的句子
E选项的bring影响更大,不做bringing伴随
同类的主次要分清
句子的结构完整性,排除法;
b句子结构不完整
因此,从句(或者分词短语等非谓语动词引导的短语)需要在时间上延续的更长,主句需要在时间上延续的更短。例如:
(1) Studying Chinese, people felt hard.
(2) **Feeling hard, people studied Chinese.
2.絕對考點:1. both A and B 2. sentence fragment 缺"謂" >刪ABE
3. and which 往前沒找到可平行從句!
3.C選項,質疑,主動詞中間有兩個插入句,但是並非文法對錯問題 ,只是相對考點> 還是選C
