I tried "Alone, Corinna drains the cup" and it was rejected. Then I read this comment and tried "Only Corinna drains the cup" - also rejected. So I will admit to being confused...
So what meaning does "sola" actually have here? Who or what is alone or only, and who or what is that being contrasted with?
-- a bunch of cups and drinkers, Corinna is the only one who gulps it all down
-- nobody in the room besides Corinna
-- (unlikely because -a versus -um) just one cup
-- something else?
