问题 A recent New York Times editorial criticized the city’s election board for, first of all, failing to replace outmoded voting machines prone to breakdowns, and secondarily, for their failure to investigate allegations of corruption involving board members.
选项 A、secondarily, for their failure to
B、secondly, for their failure to
C、secondly, that their failed and did not
D、second, that they failed to
E、second, for failing to
答案E
解析 由未划线部分的for,first of all，failing to，决定了划线部分for之后应为failing，而不是其他表达。此要求，仅E符合。同时需提出的是：secondly或者firstly,thirdly这种用法已很少见了，而代之以first，second，third作副词放在句首。此点，在写作时尤其需注意。
