以下是引用Robin在2003-4-15 22:33:00的发言：
Not until the Enlightenment, some 200 years ago, （had society seriously questioned the right of the state that it could execute） its citizens.
A: had society seriously questioned the right of the state that it could execute
B: did society seriously questioned the right of the state that it could execute
C: had society seriously questioned the right of the state for the executing of
D: did society seriously questioned the right of the state to execute
E: had society seriously questioned whether the state had a right that it could execute
Answer: D,
请问如何排除B, 我觉得B和原文的语气一致，比D好。

D: the right of (the state to execute its citizens)：国家处死公民的权利。
B: that-clause是什么从句颇费思量。
如果是定语从句就近修饰STATE,则it似显多余，that不知做何成分在从句中。
如果是同位于从句，无论同位state还是right, it都指代不清。

当两个“虚词”连用的时候，比如that it 可以看看that 和it是否在句子中充当合理的成分，如果其一充当成分使得另一个不能有合理的成分，必错！

同意1stzhang兄观点。呵呵，B中的that it 在TOEFL中叫主语重复。
