23. Europeans have long known that eating quail sometimes makes the eater ill, but only recently has it been established that the illness is caused by a toxin present in the quail’s body only under certain conditions.
(A) Europeans have long known that eating quail sometimes makes
(B) Europeans have long known quail eating is sometimes able to make
(C) Eating quail has long been known to Europeans to sometimes make
(D) It has long been known to Europeans that quail eating will sometimes make
(E) It has long been known to Europeans that quail, when it is eaten, has sometimes made
答案是A。请问D错在哪呢？ Europeans have long known that 和It has long been known to Europeans that 从意思上有什么不同吗？

d的表达不简洁，意思绕弯（累！）。另外，从句中的将来时也不好

我感觉，好象GMAT的语法里一般象
it is . . .
there is . . .
这样的语法，只要可以用其他简单的表达方式来表达的，都不会采用这样的表达方式。
不信你可以搜索一下，正确答案选择这两种结构的题目有多少个。我认为绝对不到1%。
