(E) Modernizing the steel mill, a program that can, it is hoped, be completed in the late 1980’s, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

answer:E

这道题为什么选Ｅ不选Ｂ呢？The modernization program for the steel mill作主语和Modernizing the steel mill作主语有什么区别吗

The modernization program for the steel mill 核心词 program, 所以主语是 program
Modernizing the steel mill 做主语，强调过程，后接 cost 51 million dollars 表达更准确，传神。
此外，B 中 hopefully 口语化用词，completed 可做后置定语修饰 steel mill, 实际上是 program completed in the late 1980's

"Hopefully" vs. "It is hoped"

Longman上也有說hopefully被看成"it is hoped"不是widely accepted. 大全上有OG的explanation也是這樣說.

同意songlovegt的看法: "Modernizing the steel mill 做主语，强调过程"
