Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility of an adverse change in climate is maybe the more difficult for analysis.
26. Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility of an adverse change in climates is probably the most difficult to analyze.
I have a question on the un-underlined part. It looks to me what follows "of all the possible disasters ..." should be "an adverse change ...", not "the possibility of ...", which is not in the same category of "all the possible disaster ..."
But it's from OG,so must be correct. Anyone can give me a light on this?
原题是这样的 4. Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility of an adverse change in climate is maybe the more difficult for analysis. (A) is maybe the more difficult for analysis (B) is probably the most difficult to analyze (C) is maybe the most difficult for analysis (D) is probably the more difficult to analyze (E) is, it may be, the analysis that is most difficult
这道题问的好，我也有同样的疑问，不知为何可以这样用，类似的题还有OG上21题，如下：
21. Of all the wild animals in their area, none was more useful to the Delaware tribes than the Virginia white tailed deer: it was a source of meat, and its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut for bindings and glue. (A) deer: it was a source of meat, and its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut (B) deer: it was a source of meat, and its hide used for clothing, with its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut used (C) deer: which was a source of meat, with its hide used for clothing, antlers and bones for tools, as well as its sinews and gut used (D) deer: which, as well as being a source of meat, its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut were (E) deer: with, as well as being a source of meat, its hide used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut
在 Of all N1, N2... 的结构中，的确，二者属性必须相同。 但我认为这个题是没有问题的，如果Of all的后面接的是disasters，那么后面的确应该接kkgmat所说的an adverse change： Of all the disasters that threaten American agriculture, an adverse change...
在原句中 Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility 前后都是一种可能性，在逻辑上是对称的。
但在句法上不好对称，总不能是这个样子吧： Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possible adverse change... 所以就成了本句的样子。
至于remeo的例子，不管句法、逻辑上都没有问题啊？ 在Of all the wild animals in their area, none 中 none对all。
21.

(A) deer: it was a source of meat, and its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut (B) deer: it was a source of meat, and its hide used for clothing, with its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut used (C) deer: which was a source of meat, with its hide used for clothing, antlers and bones for tools, as well as its sinews and gut used (D) deer: which, as well as being a source of meat, its hide was used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut were (E) deer: with, as well as being a source of meat, its hide used for clothing, its antlers and bones for tools, and its sinews and gut
