29.

Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.

(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio
(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Antonio the river
(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it
(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio
(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river

ANS: E
E選為什麼可以跟後面的句子比較同類呢?
而且這個結構我實在看不太懂說...

A選,...我覺得是明顯的比較不同類
B選,..., which 應該是比較明顯的修飾錯誤..雖然我覺得the river跟in也排的不太整齊...
C選,...我覺得也是明顯的比較不同類
D選,... In few...好像改變了句意

無路可走選E?

請大家協助我確認一下這一題的正解，謝謝!

ABC 不平行
D改變句意
E 應該沒錯 no longer放句首 用倒裝

[hey]

選項(A), (B), (C)先刪
至於(D)則有明顯改變句意之嫌
(E)選項中有no longer和原句最像, 整句其實是由Many cities in the United States no longer have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.的前半句倒裝而來的, 而but在此當連接詞用, 其用來連接兩句

我不認為ABC not parallel

(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio
not parallel
(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Antonio the river
句意被改變, 鄉村生活的焦點原句只的是river
(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it
not parallel
(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio
不像大部分的美國城市, 這裡又改變句意, 在少數美國城市.
(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river
