51. While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

(A)not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused
(B)not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused
(C)like Rosa Parks and her refusal
(D)like that of Rosa Parks for refusing
(E)as that of Rosa Parks, who refused

Choices B and C present faulty comparisons: in B, Jackie Robinson's courage is compared to Rosa Parks herself, not to her courage, and in C it is compared to both Rosa Parks and her refusal. Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus; in fact, saying for refusing rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus. Choice E incorrectly uses as rather than like to compare two noun phrases. Choice A is best.


我的問題是"move to the back of a bus"是否為一諺語? 還是只是如字面意義所述-移到公車後面?? 謝謝！

這是一個引發美國黑人民權運動的大事件，
就是Parks女士拒絕從公車上的黑人乘坐區移動到車尾的事件，
後來造就了Martin Luther King, Jr. 的 I Have a Dream的黑人人權演說。

所以，這句話的意思就是"移到公車後面"。

瞭解！隱含有不畏強權之意吧！

謝謝囉！

請問一下(A)not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused
這邊是指Rosa Parks去refused嗎? 那為什麼要加逗點呢?
