72. Architects and stonemasons, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport.
(A) huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport
(B) without the benefits of animal transport or the wheel, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya
(C) the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel
(D) there were built, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters by the Maya
(E) were the Maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, built huge palace and temple clusters

此題答案C, C很對
不過我覺得E看起來也很對，OG說這不是一個對的文法結構
請問錯在哪? 請大家給我指點一下，
謝謝!

hihi, lucy,

我覺得如果要看(E) 的話, were前面不應該有逗點,
而且句子重心不太好, 好像只是強調Architects 是Maya的事實.

You're right, 我怎麼連punchuation都忘了說...
呼~ 繼續練功

[kotokolin]

E故意用倒裝, 但文法錯了所以才會看起來很怪

the Maya (who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, built huge palace and temple clusters) were + ???

be動詞後沒有O

就算E的文法對, 同位語的結構也是錯的, the Maya必須前移放在逗點後去和Architects and stonemasons 來對稱

[Kal-El]

請問C句意是不是指所有的Maya人皆是Architects and stonemasons
這句意是不是有點怪呢?

Architects and stonemasons 指 the Maya 為人所知的特色.
