26.(25911-!-item-!-188;#058&002160)

The investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is a significant difference in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.

(A) of there being little that is a significant difference

(B) of there being little that is significantly different

(C) of little that is significantly different

(D) that there is little that is significantly different

(E) that there is little of significant differences

我选E 答案选D

Being+adj一定错故排除AB; of后不加句子排C（C是这么排的吗？）；动词>形容词>抽象名词排E？

That is 是只是在N+that is+adj 的时候才错吗（不简洁）？其他的情况不能直接排除？

Significant和significantly的区别是啥？

O(∩_∩)O谢谢NNs！~~~~

E：Idiomatic usage. In the phrase 'little of X', the X has to be a singular quantity. If it's plural (like 'differences'), then you have to use few.
There was very little food left over at the end of the party.
There were very few crab cakes left over at the end of the party.

D中that作定语。

Significant和significantly：
significant是表示意义重大的
significantly是表示程度上的

谢谢NN姐哈！~角度果然不一样~~
07语法笔记上说significant会有“重要意义的”和“重要的”双重含义不如significantly清楚
是不是就是意味着这两个词同时出现时优选significantly呢？
