[問題]黃豐陽托福文法第23篇Q94(structure)

[hughlin]

94.Ben Johnson, (a)while not as skillful a dramatist (b)than Shakespeare, revealed an incredible (c)versatility (D)in completing plays, poetry, criticism, scholarship, and translations.

ANS:B

想請問的是(a) while 的後面he is 是不是被省略了.謝謝.

[HHC]

差不多，省略的是 he was。
如果把插入句調到後面，這個句子就很清楚了。
Ben Johnson revealed an incredible versatility in completing plays, poetry, criticism, scholarship, and translations, while (he was) not as skillful a dramatist as Shakespeare.
這裡的while 是"雖然"的意思。
