Most likely reason why is because you don't have the asian languages (chinese, japanese + korean) installed on your computer.
If you do, then I can't help further :P

ah yeah i thought it was 1st one as well... but my teacher says its the second one because ze ge ren is mainly emphasizing Mary not emphasizing romantic. So ze ge ren can be emitted from the sentence.

Oh and also i use a program called So Gou to type chinese u can google it and download it, really easy to use :)

Dw i found the answer its meant to be Mary is very romantic. the "ze ge ren" here can be omitted in fact because its emphasizing Mary, NOT a person. So technically Mary is a very romantic PERSON is wrong. romantic here is an adjective describing person and also there is a subject (Mary) and an object (person). Where as in the original sentence "ze ge ren" is emphasizing Mary and there is only Mary as the subject, no object.
