1.OG150页第5题

Delgado's dilemma was like many other young writers: he had to choose between assured publication in a student magazine and probable rejection by a popular magazine.

划线的地方为什么错了？应该怎么改？

2.Quick to take advantage of Melanie Johnson's preoccupation with the history of the Johnson family, the genealogist proposed investigating that history--for a large fee.
这句话怎么翻译？谢谢

3.The dolls in the collection, all more than two hundred years old, had been carfully carved for children long since gone.
中的long since gone怎么理解？
A：long在此修饰for children，表示“很长一段时间以来就作为儿童的玩具”
since gone表示“拿开”或者“被拿走”是“since it has been gone”的省略形式，具体由上下文看。
全句的意思是“收藏中的那个超过200年历史的洋娃娃，自从被拿走以来已经被精心雕刻并作为儿童玩具很久了。
B：还是把long since 理解成“从前, 往昔”

4.Though the statistics on their experiment were neither precise or significant, the biochemists still published them.
答案把or改成nor这个比较容易，但可以用were吗？我觉的应该是was，因为statistics是单数。
