Because early United States writers thought that the mark of great literature was
grandiosity and elegance not to be found in common speech, they _______ the
vernacular
选项就不写了,答案是avoided,没有理解because后面这个从句怎样断句,尤其是not to be 是补充说明那个词语
2
As long as the nuclear family is a larger kinship group through contiguous
residence on undivided land, the pressure to and thus to get along with
relatives is strong.
答案是embeded share
我没有搞懂,前一句和后一句有什么因果关系
1
因为早期美国的一些作家认为伟大文学作品(great literature)的标志是grandiosity和elegance,且这两种标志在common speech中没有体现,所以他们避免使用vernacular(vernacular=common speech)。not to be found in common speech修饰grandiosity and elegance, 补充完整是grandiosity and elegance which is not to be found in common speech
2
nuclear family居住在没有细分的地方(undivided land),不可避免的需要同邻居打交道(contiguous residence),所以(相比分开居住的家庭)不得不跟邻居分享和相处的机会多一些,压力就大一些啦~
