Before Colette, the female writers of France had been aristocrats, from Mme de Lafayette to Anne de Noailles; there
were no Jane Austens or
Bronte sisters, perhaps because there were almost no clergymen’s daughters.
选项
A、were no Jane Austens or
B、were not Jane Austens or
C、was not Jane Austen nor the
D、was not a Jane Austen or the
E、was no Jane Austen or no
答案
A
解析
The sentence attempts to convey that, before Collette, female writers in France were members of the aristocracy. Furthermore, the sentence suggests that the explanation of why there were no non-aristocratic writers—as there had been in England—may be because there were almost no clergymen’s daughters.
The sentence exemplifies the non-aristocratic writers of England by reference to Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. However, the sentence uses these authors to indicate a particular type of author. That is, the point is not to say, for example, that Jane Austen herself did not write in France at the time, but rather to say that no author like Jane Austen wrote in France at the time.
This is conveyed idiomatically by saying there were no Jane Austens or Bronte sisters, which the sentence correctly uses to indicate "there were no authors of the Jane Austen or Bronte sister type." Several of the answer choices do not present this idiom correctly.
A Correct. As indicated above, the sentence is clear and idiomatically correct.
B Were not Jane Austens or Bronte sisters is not idiomatically correct.
C Was not Jane Austen nor the Bronte sisters is not idiomatically correct.
D Was not a Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters is not idiomatically correct.
E Was no Jane Austen or no Bronte sisters is not idiomatically correct.
The correct answer is A.
