标题: 关于possibly的用法，发现很多题目了~~~~

prep 07

96.(29707-!-item-!-188;#058&003977)

In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer.

(A) for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve

(B) for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can in fact serve

(D) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in fact serve

(E) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving

答案是D

选了E选项，后面答案说该题目情态动词不能修改，而且伴随状语有修饰后置定语的歧义，这些都能理解，

但是还说possibly的使用错误，就想知道下错误在哪儿，以及正确应该怎么用？？？？感觉possibly在很多题目里都有~~~

意思不一样了，in fact是很肯定，加个possibly就又可能行（可能不行）了，可能就是in fact + possibly 造成的模糊的逻辑关系（到底行不行？）被gmat判错。

这只是我从逻辑上的推测，看别人有没有用词语法上更专业的说法。

possibly其实只是一个副词，在分析句子结构的时候完全可以丢开它不管，就和thereby/instead这种一样。GMAT里面把它判错基本上是因为它和别的词重复累赘了，比如和may、can、potentially一起出现等等...

我想问下，那这里possibly没有和其他词一起累赘出现啊，还是说副词不能单独出现要连and呢，还有这个词能不能代替can呢~~

can的含义比possibly多，can还表示了能够，所以can不能被possibly代替的。但是有了can，就不用possibly了。是用哪个词，还是要根据句子逻辑含义。
