Not trusting themselves to choose wisely among the wide array of investment opportunities on the market, stockbrokers are helping many people who turn to them to buy stocks that could be easily bought directly.
(A) stockbrokers are helping many people who turn to them to buy stocks that could be easily 错误
(B) stockbrokers are helping many people who are turning to them for help in buying stocks that they could easily have
(C) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help from them to buy stocks that could be easily
(D) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help to buy stocks that easily could have been
(E) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help in buying stocks that could easily be 正确
OG上解释中提到could be easily的用法是错误的［the adverb easily is misplaced in the phrase could be easily bought］，应该用could easily be，百思不得其解，副词不是应该放置在be或者v之后吗［被动语态be done的话，比如She was badly paid. ］但是这里连起来是 that could be easily bought directly。为什么是这样呢？
附上 OG解释
Logical predication; Grammatical construction; Verb form
This sentence is intended to be about people who, because they do not trust themselves to make wise investment decisions, turn to stockbrokers for advice. As the sentence is worded, however, it is stockbrokers who do not trust themselves to choose wisely. The sentence is made even more incomprehensible by the peculiar placement of the adverbs in the phrase, could be easily bought directly.
A This version of the sentence incorrectly identifies the subject described by the opening modifier as stockbrokers; the adverb easily is misplaced in the phrase could be easily bought.
B As in (A), the opening clause illogically modifies stockbrokers rather than many people. The tense of the verb phrase could easily have bought does not match the tense of are helping earlier in the main clause.
C Although the opening modifier is correctly attached to people rather than stockbrokers, the sentence is unnecessarily wordy (for help from them).
D To buy is not idiomatic in this context—in buying would be correct—and the tense of the verb could have been does not match the tense of the verb earlier in the clause; the point is not that people are turning to stockbrokers for help in buying stocks that at some earlier time could have been bought directly, but rather that the stocks could be bought by the people directly at the very time they are seeking help from the stockbrokers.
E Correct. The opening clause correctly modifies many people, and the adverb is correctly placed.
