答案
A
解析
Idiom; Verb form
This sentence describes a contradiction some critics have ascribed to the actions and policies of both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund: although they were created to address poverty in the developing world, they struggled to meet their major shareholders’ expectations and neglected their intended beneficiaries. The contradiction is best expressed by joining the two past-tense verbs struggled to meet... and neglected... with the contrasting conjunction but. The appositive phrase set off with dashes must immediately follow the noun it defines (shareholders).
A Correct. The conjunction but accurately describes the contradiction between what the organizations did for their major shareholders and what they did not do for their intended beneficiaries, and the appositive clearly defines the immediately preceding noun, shareholders.
B The present tense of as they try to meet is inconsistent with the rest of the verbs in the sentence. The pronoun that seems to have no referent in the phrase while neglecting that of. .. since the only likely antecedent expectations is plural.
C The appositive grammatically but nonsensically describes expectations rather than shareholders; as in (B), the pronoun that does not agree in number with its likely antecedent expectations.
D Like (B), this version is unnecessarily wordy, and like (C), it introduces the pronoun that, which disagrees in number with the antecedent expectations.
E As in (C), the appositive seems to define expectations rather than shareholders, and the conjunction and fails to capture the contradictory relationship between the organizations’ actions toward their shareholders and their intended beneficiaries.
The correct answer is A.
