问题 At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.
选项 A、land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards
B、land, a form of ownership of the pre-Colombians and respected by the Spaniards
C、land, respected by the Spaniards and the pre-Columbian form of ownership
D、land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards
E、land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards
答案 A
解析 首先需要指出：划线部分的to what从句与前面的to communal ownership of land并非并列关系，因为中间无and连接。所以两者的关系是：后者是对前者的补充解释。B、C中：逗号之后是一名词词组与一过去分词词组的并列，违背平行结构要求；D选项改变了原句的意思(which无论指代land还是ownship都使句意理解不通)；A和E比较：A选项在表达上有两点优势：(1)E中：that的先行词是含糊的，可以指代land，ownership或communal ownershipof land整个名词词组；A中不存在此问题，由于to的重复，就表明what从句与communalownership of land是等价的，且后者是对前者的补充解释；(2)在what从句部分曾提到：假设某个地方原没有名字，现在叫作A地，为了准确表达“过去没有名字的这个地方”，一般用what is now A。同理，此处的所有权形式原来叫作pre-Columbian form，而此所有权形式在说话时叫作communal ownership，A选项中的what从句表明了这种“渊源关系”；而E的表达会产生一种暗示：两种所有权形式在本质上是不同的。这显然与原意有出入。
