______,she was brave enough to participate in the presidenti

我来回答你的问题：此题正确答案是B.Woman as Hillary Clinton is, she was brave enough to participate in the presidential campaign in 2008. (Woman要大写）
【讲解】Woman as Hillary Clinton is,是一个倒装句（表语提前）,意思相当于：Although Hillary Clinton is a woman, .,英语中,as作为连词主要有3种意思：1.像...,2.当时候 3.因为.除此之外,它还有一个用法就是引导“让步状语从句”,意思等于although, though（虽然,尽管）,此时,需要把be之后的表语提到句首,如果是名词,则去掉原来的冠词.例如：
Young as he is, he knows a lot about computer.
Girl as she is, she wants to be a soldier.
关于Despite Hillary Clinton is a woman,这是错误的,因为despite是介词,不是连词,不能引导从句.换成Although就对了.
【翻译】尽管希拉里克林顿是一位女性,但她勇敢地参与了2008年的总统竞选.

我的回答满意吗?
