The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error. [br]

D、Having been a texture on the southern blues scene since 1958 when he released his debut album, Paul "Poboy" Smith is a blues musician who was born in 1936 in Tupelo, Mississippi.
E、Since the release of his debut album in 1958, blues musician Paul "Poboy" Smith has been a fixture on the southern blues scene; he was born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1936.
答案
C
解析
A is flawed because it is unclear what "that year" refers to and because the combination of "since" and "after" is redundant. B presents a bizarre chronology by referring to Smith’s birth in 1936 in the present perfect "being born" and then using the simple past for a later event in 1958; also, the "has been a fixture.., since then" is awkward. D is somewhat redundant in identifying Smith as a "blues musician" after identifying him as a "fixture on the southern blues scene," and it presents the information in an illogical order by introducing Smith’s name so late in the sentence. E awkwardly separates the final clause from the rest of the sentence, so that there is really no reason why these should not be separate sentences. C is the most concise and idiomatic of the answer choices, and it presents the information in the most logical way.
