153. At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.
(A) land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards
(B) land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards
(C) land, respected by the Spaniards and a pre-Columbian form of ownership
(D) land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards
(E) land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards




Ans: A

(B) land =/= form
(C) land 不會被尊敬 (respected)
(D) which = land, 句意不合理
(E) that = land, 改變句意
不知 (A) 裡的 to 來自何方 (i.e. 它的動詞是誰)?

就是 return to.
前面 a return {to communal ownership...}, to what...
to what... 跟 "to communal ownership of land" 同位,再補充說明 to communal ownership of land. (同位語的功能:具體說明抽象)
