文法問題PP2-46

  The New York City Ballet has been ______ of United States classical ballet
  companies since its inception in1946.

  A. the consistently creative most
  B. consistently creative the most
  C. most creative the consistently
  D. the most consistently creative

  答案是D

  我主要是想問句型
  為什麼creative是形容詞
  後面可以接of+名詞,正常來說不是應該是: A名詞 of B名詞 =B的A
  或是is of+名詞 = is +形容詞

  那形容詞of名詞是什麼意思?省略形容詞後面的名詞嗎?
  也就是變成
  the most consistently creative classical ballet company of United .....
  那可是這樣不是用in會更好,或是of United State就可以了嗎
  何必多加一次classical ballet company?
  真是不了解,從CD下載的PP解答也沒說得很清楚..感覺這題應該是大家都會才對
  可是我真的不懂啊
