17.！！！Although the coordination of monetary policy can help facilitate the orderly financing of existing imbalances, it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant in the absence of an appropriate fiscal adjustment.E (A) it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant (B) it is unlikely that the size of their effect would be significant (C) affecting their sizes are not likely to be significant (D) the significance of their effect on its size is unlikely (E) its effect on their size is not likely to be significant
Given two possible "[un]likely" usages: 1. it's [un]likely that something will <- most likely to be in future tense 2. it's [un]likely to do something Choice E seems to be the right answer. Your hunch is right at least for this Q!
谢谢楼上的两位朋友，自由再反复考虑一下这个题，每次回顾这些疑难问题，可能会有新的想法和思路根据以往不断积累的语法知识。 对于这个题，自由的理解：自由的理解：A错在in the absence到底对it is unlikely that进行修饰还是对it is unlikely that后的that从句中的谓语部分进行修饰产生了矛盾和摸棱两可。从句子的经济含义逻辑角度而言，应该是介词短语修饰it is unlikely that，但是从句子的语法角度考虑，应该是介词短语就近修饰那个that 从句中的谓语动词。
Which one sounds good? Although x can do y, it is unlikely that its z on k is s .... Although x can do y, its z on k is not likely to be s...... Plus, likely to do st is more idiomatical Your comments welcome!
