选项
A、if you had either a liberal education or an annual income of two hundred pounds one was permitted to display their material prosperity in public
B、if one had either a liberal education or annual income of two hundred pounds one was permitted the public display of their material prosperity
C、having either a liberal education or annual income of two hundred pounds would allow one to publicly display their material prosperity
D、those with either a liberal education or an annual income of two hundred pounds were allowed to display their material prosperity in public
E、those having either a liberal education or annual income of two hundred pounds were permitted their public display of material prosperity
答案
D
解析
Diction; Agreement; Rhetorical construction
The use of you is strange, because the sentence is discussing a set of laws that were in place long before the time of the reader. Also, the sentence shifts from you to one. One would be preferable throughout, given that the sentence concerns laws in place long ago. Finally, the use of their does not agree in number with one. Although in some contexts it is acceptable to use their as a singular possessive adjective, it should not be used along with one (one’s would be preferable), and its use in this sentence creates an ambiguity: is its antecedent intended to be one or is its antecedent intended to be the plural noun laws?
A This version fails for the reasons discussed above.
B The use of their is incorrect; in this instance, it can simply be deleted.
C The use of their is incorrect.
D Correct. The use of those is preferable to you. Their is acceptable here because those is plural.
E The force of their is unclear. It could, for example, convey a presumption that the people designated by the subject those... pounds would all actually display material prosperity, rather than merely be permitted to do so.
The correct answer is D.
