问题 Judge Lois Forer’s study asks why do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among rich and poor.
选项 A、do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among
B、some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between
C、do some litigants have a preferred status over another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among
D、some litigants have a preferred status to another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact not equally distributed between
E、does one litigant have a preferred status over the other in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact they are not equally distributed among
答案 B
解析 The word do between why and some is unnecessary here. It would be used if we were to present the question in quotation marks, for example: "Why do some litigants ... ?" However, when simply reporting that a person has asked the question, we simply say X asks why some litigants.
Additionally, the sentence appears to be attempting to say that the rich have better access to courts than the poor. Given that there are only two groups, the appropriate preposition is between (used for two and only two things) rather than among (used for three or more things). That is, the sentence would more appropriately read unequally distributed between rich and poor.
A    This choice is flawed for the reasons indicated above.
B    Correct. This version of the sentence uses the appropriate preposition between and clearly conveys the intended idea.
C    This choice has the same flaws as choice A. Additionally, remember that the sentence attempts to communicate that some litigants have preferred status over some others rather than simply over one specific person. For this reason, over another is incorrect; the correct wording would be over others. Finally, the wording of the final clause is unacceptable; which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed is preferable.
D    The correct preposition to use after preferred status is over, not to. Additionally, as in
choice C, others rather than another would be correct. Finally, the sentence would be more clearly worded if unequally rather than not equally had been used.
E    As in choice A, the use of does is unnecessary. Note also that the question regarding the preferred status in the use of a public resource is not about two particular litigants, but about litigants in general. Therefore, one litigant... over the other does not clearly convey the intended meaning. Furthermore, the use of does is unnecessary, and the final clause would be better worded which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between than what is found here.
The correct answer is B.
