In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman. 

(A) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman 
(B) more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly 
(C) with an audacity never matched in the case of Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, President Harry S Truman had Eleanor Roosevelt appointed as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly 
(D) with an audacity never matched by Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman 
(E) with an audacity never matched either in the case of Abigail Adams or of Dolly Madison's, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed to be a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman 

這是 5/13，一戰前，回在 ptt 版上的一個解題心得分享。重點是得到 Dustin 大神的認可加持，考前的信心指數真的增加100。

直接原文轉貼，沒重新排版：

0. in 1945 時間副詞，未畫線

1. 修飾語片語開頭 (此例為介係詞片語 after a creer) + 代名詞 she
=> 後方主要句必須滿足二件事
1) 主詞必須要能夠被開頭的修飾語修飾 (要合乎邏輯)
2) 有代詞 she 出現，優先要指出 "明確" 的被指代對象 (清晰原則)(優先但非絕對)綜合以上，總統本人當主詞...不對，刪 B/C

2. A/D/E 垂直觀察，主要差異點有二
1) 很明顯的要跟 AA 及 DM 二位比較，但寫法用 more than 或 with...matched...
2) 慣用: X is appointed Y => E) 多 to be; 再對照剛刪掉的 C) 多 as，這二項通常都是 consider A B 這類慣用的搭配錯誤。(這是個人技巧，沒有100%對)
=> 用慣用解不見得是好考點，先跳過 E) 先看 A/D
不過，其實如果細心一點看到前方比較考點中，either A or B 要帶平行。
of AA 跟 of DM's => 名詞跟所有格不平行，E) 就刪掉了。
這裡沒看出也無妨，A/D比完再跟E相比，應該要看得出差異。

3) 接續1) 看比較...通常是最難的點，尤其是比較結構複雜的時候。

A) she shattered expectations more [adv.] than either AA or DM had been
=> 有補 helping VERB(還不同時態)，必定是主詞比較
audaciously 這個字對我是生字，但從句型判斷是副詞沒錯 (shattered)
=> 那 had been 配副詞...就是錯的，刪 A)

had been 在這邊是要設計成 "再早於某動作之前"，但套句曼哈頓論壇Ron大神的建議，研究「時態」永遠放為最低優先。此例不影響判題，先跳過。

延伸，如果要改成對的比較，had been 應該改成 did 就好。

通通比完了，剩 D)，有時間就再檢查一下，是不是正確句的長相。

1) In 1945，主要句應該多帶簡單過去式，除非有刻意表達什麼其他動作時間關係
2) after a career..., ER was appointed a delegate to UN by Truman.
主要句的資訊、修飾邏輯(as 1st lady)都是對的，時態簡單過去式，但出現被動語態，後方補出 by Truman 表達主動、被動間動作關係。正確！(不能看到被動就刪)

3) 再回頭檢查 after a career 中這一層的修飾關係
I. after a career in which she... => in which 指代 career 正確
II. she shattered expectations with [N.] never matched by AA or DM.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
主要資訊 第一層修飾語修飾前方主要資訊整句

(an audacity 也是生字，但只要知道是名詞就好)

句意判斷: 她用某某東西打破(眾人的)期望...(句意正確 ; 邏輯正確)

再後方 never matched by AA or DM 是用來修飾 an audacity 的第二層修飾語

這層裡面最關鍵的資訊是 AA or DM 用 or 做出平行，有沒有 either...or 沒差
(never ; matched by...我就不贅述了)

修飾語的修飾邏輯正確、位置也緊鄰應該要修飾的對象。全都是正確句長相。那就是 D) 了。

當然，with 介係詞片語也可能直接修飾前方緊鄰名詞 expectations，但前方句意檢查時，已經確定是修飾整句了。

沒時間的話，解題應該就是
1. 邏輯主詞先判斷出來，衝 A/D/E
2. 慣用：衝 A/D
3. 比較結構：看到 A 補的 helping VERB 有問題 => D
