问题 The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
   These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.
The only lucid arguments printed in the newspaper concerning the new bond proposal was put forth by the high school principal who wrote a series of letters to the newspaper’s editor.
选项 A、The only lucid arguments printed in the newspaper concerning the new bond proposal was put forth by the high school principal in a series of letters to the newspaper’s editor.
B、The principal of the high school wrote a series of letters to the newspaper’s editor that put forth the only lucid argument concerning the new bond proposal that was printed in the newspaper.
C、In a series of letters to the newspaper’s editor, the principal of the high school put forth the only lucid argument concerning the new bond proposal to be printed in the newspaper.
D、The high school’s principal’s series of letters to the newspaper’s editor lucidly put forth the only arguments concerning the new bond proposal to be printed in the newspaper.
E、Putting forth the only lucid arguments concerning the new bond proposal to be printed in the newspaper, the series of letters to the newspaper’s editor were written by the high school’s principal.
答案C
解析 C presents the most idiomatic and clearest statement of the facts. A contains a subject-verb disagreement with "arguments... was." B implies that the bond proposal, rather than the letters, was printed in the newspaper. D also has a subject-verb disagreement, because "series" is a collective noun and technically should take a singular verb, "series... puts forth" instead of "series... put forth"; the multiple possessives in D also make it awkward and hard to follow. The organization of information in E is confusing, and the passive construction leaves the natural subject of the sentence, the principal, as the object of a preposition at the end of the sentence. C is the best choice.
