实例题目：

Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith and

Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from the mainstream jazz repertory.

(A) Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted

(B) Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work that was rooted both

(C) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, who produced a body of work rooted

(D) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work that was rooted

(E) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work rooted both

选项分析：

(A)Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted

【错误】 平行结构：“rooted in……”和“Duke Ellington”两者语法功能不一致，因此无法用“both X and Y”的结构平行。

(B)Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work that was rooted both

【错误】 平行结构：“in the stride-piano tradition of……”和“Duke Ellington”语法功能不一致，因此无法用“both X and Y”的结构平行。

(C)Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, who produced a body of work rooted

【错误】 句子结构：“Thelonious Monk”本应做句子的主语，但本选项中它在主句中没有谓语动词，因为“produced”变成了“who”引导的从句的谓语动词。

(D)Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work that was rooted

【正确】 本选项仅仅是“Willie (The Lion) Smith”和“Duke Ellington”用“and”平行在一起，没有使用“both X and Y”的平行结构。

【大意】 爵士钢琴家和作曲家Thelonious Monk创作了一个扎根于Willie (The Lion) Smith和Duke Ellington大幅掠过钢琴弹法的作品体系，但很多方面他又从主流的爵士乐曲中脱颖而出。

(E)Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work rooted both

【错误】 平行结构：见(B)。

解题思路：

(C)中句子结构有问题;

(A)、(B)、(E)没有正确使用“both X and Y”的平行结构，立即排除;

因此选择(D)。
