实例题目：
The plot of The Bostonians centers on the rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom, when they find themselves drawn to the same radiant young woman whose talent for public speaking has won her an ardent following.
(A) rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
(B) rivals Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, against her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
(C) rivalry that develops between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin,
(D) developing rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin,
(E) active feminist, Olive Chancellor, and the rivalry with her charming and cynical cousin Basil Ransom,
选项分析：
(A)rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
【错误】 平行结构：“between X and Y”才是正确的平行结构，而不是“between X with Y”。
(B)rivals Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, against her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom,
【错误】 句子意思：“rivals”是复数“对手”的意思，而不是“对抗”的意思。
(C)rivalry that develops between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin,
【正确】 正确使用了“between X and Y”结构。
【大意】 《The Bostonians》的情节围绕在Olive Chancellor，一个激进的女性主义者和她迷人又玩世不恭的表弟Basil
Ransom，在他们都发现自己被一个美丽少女吸引时之间的争斗。
(D)developing rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin,
【错误】 平行结构：见(A)。
(E)active feminist, Olive Chancellor, and the rivalry with her charming and cynical cousin Basil Ransom,
【错误】 平行结构：“active feminist, Olive Chancellor”和“ the rivalry”逻辑概念上并不平行，因此本选项表意逊于(C) 。
解题思路：
“between X and Y”才是正确用法，立即排除(A)和(D)，(B)、(C)、(E)中(C)的平行结构准确合理，优于其他选项。因此选择(C)
