　　The following sentence contains either a single error or no error at all. If the sentence contains an error, select the one underlined part that must be changed to make the sentence correct. If the sentence contains no error, select choice E.

　　(A)

　　(B)

　　(C)

　　(D)

　　(E)

　　謎底：D

　　【剖析】

　　The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is an improper idiom. Both parts of the “both ... and” structure must be followed by grammatically similar elements. Because “his” follows “both,” “his” must also follow “and” (“both his jazz and hisclassical”).
