关于SC JJ 63的正确答案，请NN进来给点意见

请NN看看这道题目选C还是D啊？

63. Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will
E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may

NY Times 原文:

To help deal with public fascination -- and sometimes undue alarm -- about possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have adopted a scale that rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will collide with Earth.

Ｃ．中的will be to　collide 很怪，ＷＩＬＬ＝ＢＥ　ＴＯ，都有将要发生的意思

今天再看一遍这道题，又有新想法

RATE这个词应该要用作及物动词:RATE STH (AT STH)

C.rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to 中RATE后边跟了一个副词性从句

D.rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will RATE后边跟的是LIKEHOOD这个名词,所以感觉还是D更好一点

GWD-TN-17中的第17. GWD-26-Q17

给的答案是C

有道理!

好像D比较合适，c选项带进去表达：rate how ...   to collide .至少这个to用的不太合适把。

我同意proudking的看法，will be是修饰likely的

所以C选项实际上是把“a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to...”倒装了
