73. The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892 to consider a possible Russian attempt to seize Constantinople and how they would have to act militarily to deal with them.
(A) how they would have to act militarily to deal with them
(B) how to deal with them if military action would be necessary
(C) what would be necessary militarily for dealing with such an event
(D) what military action would be necessary in order to deal with such an event（D）
(E) the necessity of what kind of military action in order to take for dealing with it
In choices A and B, the pronoun them has no antecedent; （有代词要想到指代对象，这里无指代对象）furthermore, the if clause in B must take should rather than would. （would /should用词有区别？？？）In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague. （模糊，笨拙）E is wordy and garbles the meaning with incorrect word order. （词序变动，意思混乱）Choice D is best: its phrasing is clear, grammatical, and idiomatic. Moreover, D is the choice that most closely parallels the construction of the nonunderlined portion of the sentence. The sentence states that the Admiralty and the War Office met to consider x and y, where x is the noun phrase a possible Russian attempt. D provides a noun phrase, military action, that matches the structure of x more closely than do the corresponding noun elements in the other choices. （平行，一个是名词，另一个是名词短语）
furthermore, the if clause in B must take should rather than would. （would /should用词有区别？？？）
171. In 1527 King Henry VIII sought to have his marriage to Queen Catherine annulled so as to marry Anne Boleyn.
(A) so as to marry
(B) and so could be married to
(C) to be married to
(D) so that he could marry（D）
(E) in order that he would marry
The sentence calls for an adverbial clause of purpose to explain why Henry sought the annulment. D, the best choice, does this clearly and correctly. It is introduced by an appropriate conjunction, so that, and contains a logically appropriate verb form, could marry. Awkward and imprecise, A does not specify who is to marry Anne. B substitutes an illogical coordinate predicate for the needed purpose clause; because the annulment had not yet been granted, Henry could not remarry. （句子不完整） C lacks an appropriate conjunction, and the infinitive clause to be married to... makes this choice awkward and unidiomatic. （句子不完整）Although E uses an appropriate conjunction, in order that, the verb form would marry is unidiomatic and illogical (might marry would be better). （????）
the verb form would marry is unidiomatic and illogical (might marry would be better). （????）
might/would/ could 上有什么区别吗
谢谢
