[dibert8]

考關係代名詞限定用法,平衡

(A) (E) 流水句

(B) whose 指代 acclaim, 因此句意不合理

(C) who..., but whose... 平衡

(D) who 指代 acclaim, 因此句意不合理

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again
文法上對，composer who receives..., goes... , and regains....
但句意不對，composer goes into decline作曲家走下坡？

(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again
,whose往前能代誰？

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status
因為有連接詞but，原句還原：JR and GM are examples of the kind of composer who ......., but (JR and GM are examples of the kind of composer) whose reputation declines....... .

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again
and連接詞兩邊動詞時態不一致

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity
and連接詞兩邊動詞時態不一致

還有一個考點是regain原本的意思就是to reach a place again

因此 regain----- again---> redundant ,刪掉ABD
