考题讲解

题目分析:
在(A)(B)(E)中我们可以发现平行触发语both…and…,两者连接的内容需要在逻辑和语形上保持一致。

选项分析:

A选项:本选项的倒数第二个词出现了both。在英语中,在both身后有and的时候,它们连接的两者需要保证语法平行。本选项中both的身后是分词短语 rooted in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith,但是and身后只是第一个名词Duke Ellington,两者不平行(如果把and理解为连接两个名词的连词,则both就出现了搭配的错误,没有and作为搭配对象,在本题中也不能单独使用)。
who was a jazz pianist and composer是非限定性定语从句,其会让人读者认为Thelonious Monk仅在过去(was)是爵士乐钢琴家和作曲家。但在逻辑上,显然Thelonious Monk其实一直是钢琴家和作曲家,即,应该用同位语a jazz pianist and composer而不该用定语从句

B选项:both…and…连接的两者在语法上不平行,错误同(A);

C选项:本选项没有谓语动词。

D选项:
Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:
both…and…连接的两者在语法上不平行,错误同(A)。
