Answer 1

(The student group that wanted to present a petition to the mayor waited patiently) for an hour to be admitted to the meeting.

A)
C)The student group ,waiting to present a petition to the mayor and patiently waiting
正确答案C .请问A有什么错误吗

答：A（就是括号中的那个）没错，反而C是错的。本来的C项是wanting, 给你打成了waiting, 这是后加的错，原来的错误是没了谓语。
而A项中that ..... mayor是定语从句，waited patiently for ...是谓语。
Rudolfo Anaya,(whose) 1972 novel ,Bless Me,ULTIMA,( is considered) a classic of modern American literature, (won) the PEN Center West Award (for) his 1992 novel,Alburquerque.
正确选项E 。B为什么是对的？
答：E表示本句没错。
析：主语是人：Rudolfo Anaya, 谓语是(won) the PEN Center West Award (for) his 1992 novel,Alburquerque.
中间的是非限制性定语从句，其中的whose ...............至literature 为此人的补充情况说明。
is considered为这个非限制性定语从句中的谓语动词
试译：Rudolfo Anaya因其92年的小说Alburquerque获得了the PEN Center West 奖，（主句先译），他72年的小说Bless Me,ULTIMA被认为是现代美国文学的典范。
