E、Similar to that reputed to live in Loch Ness, inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain, also an inland lake connected to the ocean by a river, claim sightings of a long and narrow "sea monster. "
答案 B
解析 As written, the phrase Like the one reputed to live in Loch Ness ... compares the one to what comes immediately after the comma directly after the river, namely inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain. That is surely not the intended comparison.
The intended meaning of the sentence, of course, is that the "sea monster" reputedly sighted at Loch Ness is like the "sea monster" reputedly sighted at Lake Champlain.
An additional problem with this sentence is that the separation between one and "sea monster" is too great; as a result, it is not clear what the word one refers to.
A    This choice suffers from the problems indicated above.
B    Correct. This choice clearly and efficiently conveys its intended meaning.
C    This version of the sentence appears to assert that the Loch Ness "sea monster" actually exists. Furthermore, it inappropriately uses the phrase is an inland lake to modify Loch Ness’s [sea monster], not Loch Ness.
D    As in choice A, this version of the sentence inappropriately compares Loch Ness’s reputed monster to inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain.
E This version of the sentence inappropriately uses the phrase Similar to that reputed to live in Loch Ness to modify inhabitants of the area around Lake Champlain.
The correct answer is B.
