    E

    The author of The New Girl, Mike Reynolds, spoke at our school about his book, that portrays a woman for six weeks.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    A项不正确因为同位语“The New Girl”应该用逗号括起来,“him”应改为“his”。B项没有错误。C项中“where”的使用不正确。D项中的同位语不正确,且用一个逗号连接两个独立的主句,因此不正确。D项也改变了句子的意思。E项也不正确,因为“that”的使用不恰当,因为“that”不能用来修饰人。
