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 (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; furthermore, the (/clause in B must take should rather than would. In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague. E is wordy and garbles the meaning with incorrect word order. 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. 请问B选项为什么要换成should呢? 请教请教! |
