D.had been as disturbing on his own time as it is
E.have been as disturbing in his own time as

Ans:B

如果選E的話，
就會變成Thomas Eakin's powerful style and his choices 跟compelling比喔，
其實這種題目用句意解很快喔

[小笨笨]

想請問一下：
這裡的compelling是什麼意思呢？
強制的？令人注目的？令人信服的？

[dibert8]

from Merriam-Webster,
compelling [adjective]
: that compels : as a : FORCEFUL <a compelling personality> b : demanding attention <for compelling reasons> c : CONVINCING <no compelling evidence>

我覺得是 demanding attention 的意思;就是在當時擾動的風格至今仍讓人有相同的感受(i.e. 受矚目)

[dibert8]

(E) 時態錯誤:他擾亂人心的風格不會在他的時代就結束(完成)了,也不是持續到現在(這樣就不用和現在比了),所以不能用現在完成式.
過去的事件用過去式;時間不同,動詞不能省略,所以選 (B)

不是跟 compelling 比喔!
應該是省略了 are Thomas Eakin's powerful style and his choices of subject
不過這樣的省略是錯誤的.

[insomnia]

我覺得是先判斷句尾為 it的 先刪去
剩下BC
依A and B 判定 動詞為複數
可選出b
