求教

For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seemed.

(B) they originally seem to

(C) they seemingly would cost originally

(D) it seemed originally

(E) it originally seemed they would

key is E, 不通, 求教思路??

哪里来的答案？应该是A.

E肯定是错的，it没有指代对象，seemed后面应该加上that，比较形式不对称，而且还罗索。

c 不对吗，省略了what, 这正是比较的对象阿

a中可以省略to cost吗？

rhod, thanks for your explantion

this question is stem from 考古题

but the given answer is E....
