选项
A、a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated
B、her being dedicated to both the nonviolent abolishing of slavery as well as for women’s emancipation
C、a dedication to both the nonviolent abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women
D、that she was dedicated both to abolishing slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women
E、her dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery and emancipation of women
答案
C
解析
Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
The sentence describes Sojourner Truth’s dedication, as a public speaker, to the nonviolent abolition of slavery and to the emancipation of women. It thus provides a list of two things that Sojourner Truth was dedicated to: the nonviolent abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women. Although there are various ways of describing this list, the two elements need to be described in a parallel fashion.
A This sentence begins the description of the list with the beginning of the construction both to ... and to. If implemented properly, this construction will describe the elements of the list in parallel. However, as the sentence is written, the second element of the list, as for women to be emancipated, is not parallel to the first element, to the nonviolent abolition of slavery.
B This sentence, with to before both, begins the description of the list with a somewhat different construction than Sentence A does. In this case, the nonviolent abolishing of slavery needs to be made parallel with for women’s emancipation. As written, the sentence presents a severe case of lack of parallelism.
C Correct. This sentence correcdy implements the construction to both ... and.... In particular, the nonviolent abolition of slavery is parallel to the emancipation of women.
D This sentence begins the description of the list with the same construction as in sentence A, both to... and to.... In this case, abolishing slavery nonviolently is not parallel to emancipate women.
E This sentence uses the same construction as in sentences A and D: both to... and to.... In this case, to the nonviolent abolition of slavery is not parallel to emancipation of women. If to the were inserted immediately before emancipation of women, then the parallelism issue would be resolved.
The correct answer is C.
