加粗的部份是同位語,是C.S-S這個人的同位語
補充說明他是PIANIST,scholar,composer,and essayist....
主詞是C.S-S.動詞就是後面的 was...and was了(確實也是平衡)

如果是同位語的話
<同位語 >,s+v (同位語後面要直接接主詞,放介係詞among很怪)
或者 s,<同位語>,V 也是一種表達方式

敬請指教

選項裡是(D)最好沒錯,
可是為什麼and前面要加comma
沒加才是對的吧?

麻煩大大解惑

[stilalala]

選項裡是(D)最好沒錯,
可是為什麼and前面要加comma

麻煩大大解惑

Pianist, composer, scholar, and essayist

四個名詞並列,最後一個以and連接
平衡三個以上,and前面要加comma

請指教

嗯 我也對這個逗點很疑惑....
所以就沒選了

另外 我想問的是(A)
主詞C.S-S.和主詞補語倒裝的形式
我覺得這是為了後面修飾C.S-S.的關代子句,才做這樣的改變
可是 這樣是否犯了主詞和前面修飾語的脫節問題呢??
好疑惑
please inspire me

[medi66]

我覺得A C 很明顯 都有脫節的問題~

[hughes0305]

個人覺得逗點是印刷錯誤,
因為(A)選項中也沒有逗點, 但原題中的畫線部份是有逗點的,
因此, 我覺得逗點應該是存在原題中 沒被畫線的部份,
這樣(D)就好多了

[hcgh]

請問D
Pianist, composer, scholar, and essayist
為什麼可以不加冠詞呢？
若題目是author of XX book, CS-S...
這我同意可以不加，因為CS-S是XX book的唯一作者
但為什麼這裡的D可以不用加不定冠詞呢？

還有
was among the most gifted and versatile musicians of his time
跟was deeply interested in Oriental themes並列，
很明顯地前句的重要性遠大於後面一句
兩句用and連接感覺很怪

A的句意就比D好

[ivankuo]

(A)脫節阿~
As a pianist....of learned subjects,應該是介係詞子句修飾主詞，所以後面應該立刻接上主詞Camille Saint-Saens(1835-1921)才對，(A)反而把主要子句倒裝了所以脫節囉
另外，GMAT不會把考點放在定冠詞不定冠詞是否遺漏的問題上，那是托福的考點
至少我就沒遇到過考題是把焦點放在有沒有加上a/an/the或是名詞-s上
參考一下

我十一月初上莫老的課，他是裁示(B)，但要把答案最後的, and having been改成, and was；他還舉了11th OG Diagnostic Test Q49為例，as+身分是ETS的標準用法，僅貼題目與正確答案供參考。

Q49
As an actress and, more importantly, as a teacher of acting, Stella Adler was one of the most important influential artists in the American theater, who trained several generations of actors including Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro.

(C) Stella Adler was one of the most important influential artists in the American theater, training several generations of actors whose ranks included

如果是這樣的話，那D為什麼不行？
AS用表達身份；但沒有加AS也可以表示同位不是嗎
BTW，莫老有說其他的選項為何而錯嗎？

[A級垂耳兔]

竟然又被我找到原文...看來我真的是個變態.....

當初聽莫老說B....一直覺得用Having been很怪..
尤其OG11版也把這種選項視為錯誤..但是OG解釋更怪...說用Having會讓人誤以為是進行式...目前還沒看過Having been是對的
另外答案D用同位結構在下不認為是錯的....
答案B用現在完成式真的說不過去....Cam這個人早就掛了...不可能到現在再墳墓裡還interested...
看到後面as後同時代的人用過去式...真的沒有理由用現在完成式....
故支持答案D

=> fragment, 通常使用過去完成式, 應該是表示之前做過某一件事, 而後作了某件事
=> 用時間來看, had been --> the past --> now -> be going to -> future
但本句並沒有要強調早先做過某事, 而後作過某事, 兩件事都是在過去.
