问题 The attorney turned down the law firm’s offer of a position because she suspected that it was meant merely to fill an affirmative action quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting.
选项 A、quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
B、quota, having no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
C、quota and did not reflect a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
D、quota, not reflecting a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
E、quota, not one that reflected that minority hiring and eventual promotion was a commitment
答案 C
解析 本题涉及对Affirmative Action法案的了解，该法案帮助美国的少数民族获得更多的就业和教育机会。因而句中用with介词短语修饰quota，表明quota的属性，而这样修饰的结果刚好与该法案的初衷背道而驰。所以with短语修饰不对，划线部分内容应与前面的内容was meant属并列关系，而不是从属关系。有了这样的背景知识，就可以选出C，因为A、B、D、E均表明划线部分与quota部分是从属关系，是修饰限定quota的，A、B中的promoting有名词形式promotion，就该用名词形式。这再次验证了“有名词而不用动名词”的原则(第一章)。C的意思是：她认为这个职位仅是为了满足affirmative action的配额要求，并没有表明真心致力于少数民族的雇用和将来的晋升。
