305.
For many travelers, charter
vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally
seemed.

I feel that there should have a 'to' following the so -called answer A. What do you think?

305. For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seemed.

(A) they originally seemed

(B) they originally seem to

(D) it seemed originally（A）

(E) it originally seemed they would

the right answer is E, as expressed by the Caplan 2003.
here"it"avoids unclear reference of "they"in other choices , and refers to "they would"

靠不是真的把

KAPLAN2001模拟测试第二套中一题:
Researchers are studying plastics that dissolve at different rates, and they are finding that the so-called 'quick disintegration' plastics are taking more time to deteriorate than they originally seemed.
a) they originally seemed
b) they seemed originally
c) it seemed that they would originally
d) it originally seemed
e) it originally seemed they would
这题答案是E
解释：The tricky part here is choosing between 'they' and 'it'. 'They' would imply that the plastics themselves first seemed to do one thing, and then ended up duoing something else. The expletive 'it' - the pronoun that has no particular antecedent - makes more sense; it suggests simply that initial indications turned out to be misleading. Using 'it', it's necessary to include the phrase 'they would', to make it clear what seemed to be the case.
KAPLAN题中they originally seemed似乎只能省略to deteriorate但这样意思表达不对。
E中，补全后是plastics are taking more time to deteriorate than it originally seemed they would take (time) to deteriorat
it seemed that的that可省。
