答案
B
解析
Agreement; Rhetorical construction; Grammatical construction
The original sentence logically intends to explain that Monroe’s work influenced generations of artists in his own musical field and that he inspired many musicians in other musical fields.
Who or what influenced or inspired whom must be more clearly stated. Additionally, the original sentence lacks precision, being overly wordy and using phrases that are not idiomatic. Concise and consistent verb forms, as well as the use of subordinate phrases rather than clauses, improve the precision of the sentence.
A The phrase were influential on is wordy and is not idiomatic; the use of verb forms were (the predicate of repertory, views, and style) and was (the predicate of Monroe) is confusing.
B Correct. The use of the concise verb forms of influenced and inspired simplifies and clarifies the sentence. The concise use of including avoids the pronoun error and unnecessary wordiness.
C The subject and verb do not agree in repertory, views, and style ... was (compound subject with singular verb). Was influential to and different... in comparison to are unnecessarily wordy.
D There is incorrect subject-verb agreement in repertory, views, and style ... was (compound subject with singular verb). Was influential to and in when compared to are unnecessarily wordy. The music of whom is cumbersome and stilted.
E The phrase were an influence on is wordy and not idiomatic. The phrases was also an inspiration to and was significantly different are unnecessarily wordy. The phrase from that of is unclear and confusing.
The correct answer is B.
