41. In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights and for changes in the married women’s property laws.
(A) arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights
(B) arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal rights for women
(C) a treatise that advocates women’s equal political and legal rights
(D) a treatise advocating women’s equal political and legal rights
(E) a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women
答案解析如下：
(A)arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights
【错误】 修饰成分：非谓语动词“arguing”在本选项中作状语(动词的修饰语)，其逻辑主语为“Lucretia Mott”，与所修饰动词“published”的主语相同，这意味着“arguing”是动词“published”的伴随状语，根据与法要求，“doing”形式的伴随状语与所修饰动词同时发生且同(逻辑)主语，所以根据语法要求，“Lucretia Mott”一边“发表论文”，一边伴随着在“争论”，这种修饰关系并不合理。
(B)arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal rights for women
【错误】 修饰成分：见(A)。
(C)a treatise that advocates women's equal political and legal rights
【错误】 平行结构：划线部分之后连接“and for……”结构，仅能与(E)中的 “argued for”形成语法、语义均平行的“argued for……and for……”结构。
(D)a treatise advocating women's equal political and legal rights
【错误】 平行结构：类似地，见(C)。
(E)a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women
【正确】 “that argued for……”是“a treatise”的定语从句，而“a treatise”是“Discourse on Women”的同位语，修饰关系明确。
【大意】 1850年Lucretia Mott发表了《女性的讨论》，一篇为女性平等政治、法律权利和修改女性婚姻产权法而争论的论文。
【解题思路推荐】
“Discourse on Women”意为“《女性的讨论》”，这恰恰是一篇“treatise”(“论文”)，因此，(C)、(D)、(E)的修饰关系明显优于(A)和(B)而(E)和划线句子之后的部分形成了“argued for……and for……”的平行结构，因此选择(E)。
