Japanese literature is noted for distinctive forms of drama as well as their poetry. No error

(A) is noted for
(B) distinctive
(C) as well as
(D) their poetry
(E) No error

答案和解析

答案：D

解析：

The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is improper pronoun use. There is nothing in the sentence to which the plural possessive pronoun "their" can logically refer. The pronoun "their" should be deleted from the sentence so that the sentence clearly expresses both things that Japanese literature is noted for ("distinctive forms of drama" as well as "poetry").
