SAT 2008年10月一道语法题求解释
The Great Gatsby is now considered a classic novel set in America's Jazz Age,but in 1925 (its reviews would be mixed and its sales would have been disappointing.)
括号里为划线部分；我明白为什么错的选项以下就不列举了
C.its reviews were mixed and its sales disappinting
D.it had mixed reviews and its disappointing sales
C为正确答案,我看了解析后明白C为何正确,但不明白D为何错误,“ mixed reviews ”明明可以和“ its disappointing sales ”平行啊.而且but前边的半句主语是The Great Gatsby,后半句的主语用it不是比its更好吗?更平行对称了啊?

答案

你好,D的问题出在了its.
and连接两个句子或者两个名词短语,也就是说D 可以是it had mixed reviews and it had disappointing sales 或者it had mixed reviews and disappointing sales, 这样its就是多余的了,C答案不是最好,但是没错,所以相比之下还是选C
望采纳
