答案
E
解析
Agreement; Rhetorical construction
The sentence attributes to psychologist Bruno Bettelheim a particular view regarding the nature of fairy tales. The construction it was psychologist Bruno Bettelheim’s assertion that lacks the clarity and directness of the more active construction Bruno Bettelheim asserted that. The subject of the subordinate clause containing nature of many fairy tales actually are is the singular noun nature, not the plural noun in the prepositional phrase of fairy tales.Thus, the verb of that clause should be is, not are.
A It was psychologist Bruno Bettelheim’s assertion that is wordy and awkward. Presumably this phrase is intended to be equivalent to Bettelheim asserted that (just as it is my opinion that is another way of saying I believe thai). However, given the surrounding structure of the sentence, it appears to refer to some unnamed entity or condition that occurs in Bettelheim’s book, and the entire sequence was ... development appears to be predicated of the subject it. The plural verb are does not agree with the singular subject nature.
B It was psychologist Bruno Bettelheim’s assert on that is wordy and awkward. Presumably this phrase is intended to be equivalent to Bettelheim asserted that (just as it is my opinion that is another way of saying I believe that). However, given the surrounding structure of the sentence, it appears to refer to some unnamed entity or condition tha occurs in Bettelheim’s book, and the entire sequence was ... development appears to be predicated of the subject it.The plural verb are does not agree with the singular subject nature.
C According to the most plausible parsing of the sentence, everything that follows assested that is intended to express Bettelheim’s assertion. On that interpretation, though, the sentence is ungrammatical; the subject of the main clause, assertion, is not paired with a verb. If the verb is were paired with the subject assertion, the sentence would be nonsensical.
D The plural verb are does not agree with the singular subject nature.
E Correct. The construction Bruno Bettelheim asserted gives vigor to the main clause, and the singular verb is agrees with the subject nature in the subordinate clause.
The correct answer is E.
