答案是E 

每一项都不一样 觉得很tricky 也不知道怎么下手

有NN能帮忙分析下这题麽？

万分感谢！

我错选了c，感觉 in that 要比because 正式，其他选项没有疑问

 facilities 不能被avoid掉，排除 A B C

句子后半段是解释原因 排除C

if only: used to give a reason for something, although you think it is not a good one example: Media studies is regarded as a more exciting subject, if only because it's new.

不是的，有时候是in that最优先，因为in that是书面语

OG11说in that过于书面了。 我觉得很少单独比较in that和because的，可以从其他点排除。

非常感谢你的回答

可是我还是有点不明白 既然if only means give a reason, 那意思不是跟because一样了吗

if only becasue这样的说法不redundant吗？还是这是一种固定搭配呢？

还有不明白的是为什么重复的基础设施不能被avoid？我觉得duplicated facilities或是 duplication of facilities都可以用be avoided...

望指教=）

if only表示一种语气，说话者不是很确定那个就是原因。还有人觉得是做虚拟语气用，我保留意见。。

逻辑上是避免基础设施的重复（建造），

我查了一下 觉得这里的if only应该跟if的意思一样 only是加强if的语气

结合前半句Building ... would constitute a wasteful use of resources..中的would的用法

这里应该就是虚拟语气 e.g.If only they were here now, we would be able to celebrate their wedding anniversary

也不知对否
