這題頗有討論價值但沒人問,把它PO出來大家參考參考.
Q1:
Although she had been known as an effective legislator first in the Texas Senate and later in the United States House of Representatives, not until Barbara Jordan’s participation in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon in 1974 was she made a nationally recognized figure, as it was televised nationwide.
A. later in the United States House of Representatives, not until Barbara Jordan’s participation in the hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon in 1974 was she made a nationally recognized figure, as it was

Ans: B
(A) it (=figure? impeachment?) 指代不清.
(B) ...when she participated in the hearings {on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon}, which were...
=> when = 1974, which = hearings.
(C) with片語改變句意(不是她參加聽證成名,而是電視轉播使她成名);
which... 不知修飾哪個? (with... 還是主要子句) 前者 which = hearings 複數,後者 which = figure 句意不合理.
(D)(E) then later: redundancy
1. 想澄清一個句型跟時態: Not until... 跟 No soor... than... 有沒有相似處?
(i.e. No sooner than 跟過去完成式連用, not until 是不是也要過去完成式?)
2. which 非限定用法怎麼判斷代替哪個名詞?
OG10-Q78 說 which (非限定用法)指代名詞,有沒有 which 在非限定用法指代"最接近名詞"的文法?
