问题 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] Noted for its tenacity and courage, the English bulldog, having originally been bred for the brutal sport of bull-baiting, but now is cherished as a loyal animal companion.
选项 A、the English bulldog, having originally been bred for the brutal sport of bull-baiting, but now is cherished
B、English bulldogs were originally bred for the brutal sport of bull-baiting, but they are now cherished
C、English bulldogs were originally bred to bait bulls in a brutal sport, but it is now cherished
D、the English bulldog was originally bred for the brutal sport of bull-baiting, but it is now cherished
E、the English bulldog, originally bred to bait bulls for a brutal sport, is now being cherished
答案 D
解析 The answer has to refer to "the English bulldog" singular, because the final phrase refers to "a loyal animal companion" singular; therefore, B and C are out. Answer A is incorrect because the "but now" does not work with the phrasing of the sentence. Between D and E, the wording of E is somewhat awkward in that "is now being cherished" is less standard than the simpler "is now cherished;" D is the best answer.
