问题    Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conform with the opinion【S1】________
which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by
himself；had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that
clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has
embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have the【S2】________
most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited. But although
he at different times, in a desultory manner, committed to write many【S3】________
particulars of the progress of his mind and fortunes, he never had
persevering diligence enough to form them into the regular composition. 【S4】________
Of these memorials a few have been preserved；but the great part was【S5】________
consigned by him to the flames, a few days before his death.
    As I had the honour of enjoying his friendship for twenty years；as
I had the scheme of writing his life constant in view；as he was well【S6】________
apprised by this circumstance, and from time to time obligingly satisfied【S7】________
my enquiries, by communicating to me the incidents of his early years；
as I acquired a facility in recollecting, and was very assiduous in
recording, his conversation, of what the extraordinary vigour and【S8】________
vivacity constituted one of the first features of his character；and as I
have spared many pains in obtaining materials concerning him, from【S9】________
every quarter where I could discover that they were to be found, and
have been favoured with the most liberal communications by his friends；
I flatter myself that few biographers have entered into upon such a work【S10】________
as this, with more advantages；independent of literary abilities, in
which I am not vain enough to compare myself with some great names
who have gone before me in this kind of writing.  [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 great—greater
解析 形容词比较级错误。此处意为“但是更多的部分在他临死前的几天被他付之一炬了”。此句中的but有转折含义，句中的“the…part”与前面的a few构成比较，故将great改为greater。
