.

E、as it dropped for her daughter-in-law’s
答案
D
解析
Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
The sentence attempts to explain two opposing trends in portfolio value: the value of one person’s portfolio rose as the value of another persons portfolio dropped. Note, however, that the sentence as given here refers to a rise in value and a drop in a portfolio: this indicates a failure in required parallelism. The comparison, properly expressed, would mention the value of Monica Taylor s portfolio and the value of her daughter-in-law’s portfolio.
A This is incorrect because it refers to the daughter-in-law’s portfolio, not to the value of her portfolio.
B The conjunction while is appropriate here, but the sentence lacks the parallelism needed to clearly compare the opposing trends in portfolio value.
C This is wordy and lacks the required parallelism already mentioned.
D Correct. The phrase that of her daughter-in-law’s is a way of referring to the value of her daughter-in-law’s portfolio. The antecedent of that is the value. The phrase Monica Taylor’s portfolio is parallel to her daughter-in-law’s portfolio; each involves a noun with a possessive that functions adjectivally. The word portfolio is understood, not explicit.
E Lacking the parallelism noted, this is unnecessarily awkward. Structurally, the pronoun it can logically have as antecedent either the value of Monica Taylor’s portfolio or Monica Taylor’s portfolio, but neither of these readings yields a correct sentence.
The correct answer is D.
