【问】 Her dress was spotlessly clean and well made，but it was the kind of a dress which thedaughter of a poor man might have worn.(TOEFL，75.11)

我看不出这道题有什么错误。请指教。

【答】 英语测试专家和英语词典的编纂者们仍然认为a (the) kind of a+N是不规范的。因此，上题中的the kind of a dress应改为the kind of dress。考生记住他们的观点和要求，就足够了。英语教师则应参阅(a) type of，(a) sort of，作进一步的了解。
