问题 The cathedrals of the Middle Ages were community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices: and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one.
选项 A、community centers just as much as they were purely religious edifices; and they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, the opposite of being a private one
B、community centers as much as purely religious edifices; they were structures representing a city’s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to private
C、community centers as well as purely religious edifices; they were structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, not private ones
D、as much community centers as purely religious edifices, structures that represented a city’s commitment to a public realm, as opposed to a private one
E、as much community centers as they were purely religious edifices, structures representing a city’s commitment to a public realm, opposite of a private one
答案 D
解析 The given sentence conveys the idea that the medieval cathedrals were community centers as well as religious edifices. Therefore, these cathedrals represented cities’ commitment to a public realm.
A    In the sentence as written, the referent of the pronoun they is unclear. Furthermore, the sentence is unnecessarily wordy: just as much as would be better written as much as, and the word being is unnecessary.
B    In this choice, the referent of the pronoun they is unclear. Furthermore, the phrase as opposed to private is misplaced; it would be correct if placed immediately before realm.
C    In this choice, the plural phrase not private ones refers to the singular a public realm.
D    Correct. This choice avoids using a
pronoun with no clear referent and correctly expresses the comparison between a public realm, as opposed to a private one, where both noun phrases are singular.
E    This choice uses opposite of a private one to refer to a public realm, unreasonably suggesting that a public realm cannot coexist with a private realm.
The correct answer is D.
