233. Darwin was not the first to advance a theory of evolution; his tremendous originality lay in the fact that he proposed the idea of natural selection as the means by which evolution worked.
(A) lay in the fact that he proposed the idea
(B) lay in the fact of his proposing the idea
(C) laid in the fact of his proposing the idea
(D) laid in his proposal（E）
(E) lay in his proposal
看过讨论的帖子，但是最后也是没有定论（A或E）。但是这里的tremendous originality 到底是什么意思呢？
不懂楼上为什么问这个词组的意思？个人认为是‘巨大的创新’
lie-lay-lain放置（vi）,躺（lie in ——存在于）
lie-lied-lied撒谎
lay-laid-laid放置（vt），产卵（没有lay in ,因为lay 是及物动词）
