85.

In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.

(A) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
(B) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly
(C) with an audacity never matched in the case of Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly
(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman
(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman




Ans: D

(A) 如何排除呢? 助動詞和時態的問題嗎?

[dibert8]

位了使 she 不脫節, 接下來的主詞定是 "she" => (A) (D) (E)
(A) 1. shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison 不知道是什麼意思也! 2. ever had been 過去完成式,對不對?
(D) (E) 比一比,發現 (E) 不簡潔: 1. in the case of 句意不完整 (what case? i.e. what happened in the case?) 2. to be 多餘
但是 (D) shattered expectations with an audacity 什麼意思啊?

[bakekab]

A 答案的 had been 是否要改為 had done 比較可以跟前面的 shattered 平衡

[dibert8]

如果要用過去完成式,助動詞用 had 就可以啦!

[kotokolin]

appoint (as) + 身分
appoint to +V
這裡是上面那種用法, 所以B和E的to be多餘
B和C脫節

A的比較很奇怪, 不知為何前面是shattered, 後面變成過去完成式@@
但我覺得ever had been這說法應該有問題, 我只看過had ever been, 那就去掉A吧....

要選到答案D真難

我覺得阿...
如果是A和B的話
應該是用...shattered... more than ...had
這樣shattered 和 had 動詞才有一致(都是過去式)
而且因為,前的主詞是she所以B的,後面應該要接Eleanor而不是Harry C同理
所以排除A B C

E的matched in the case很怪 我不太會解釋但不慣用 而且好像someone be appointed + position吧 不用加to be

[lucyyeh]

自己複習，覺得好像多被一個單字頗有用，A選時態固然不對
可是副詞audaciously 也很怪阿!

audacious adjective
showing great courage or confidence in a way that is impressive or slightly shocking

audacity noun
the quality of having enough courage to take risks or say impolite things

以上資料來自Longman Dictionary

[hwatai]

(E) ... of ... Dolly Madison's 雙重所有格

所以A的錯誤應該是在多了個been之上

剛才無聊去查了一下，Abigail Adams與Dolly Madison真的都是比較古早的first lady
用過去完成式也沒錯，時態上正確
但是been就不對了

(E) ... of ... Dolly Madison's 雙重所有格

所以A的錯誤應該是在多了個been之上

--------
A . shattered more audaciously than.....had been had been-->did
Logically, this event is about a "fact" , simple past tense is more efficient than past perect 進行 tense

In my opinion, the adv ''audaciously" is not a killing mistake...

C. had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General
Assembly

had appointed 應該是兩個動詞 兩個都是使易動詞耶

E.in the case of A or of D's---殺!!
請指教!
