答案是E，但是B错在哪里呀？谢谢指教哦

同问 E我都没想就排除了

支持B

yboo,不完全理解你的意思，你意思是completed表示已经完成，而句子的意思是会在1980's完成，所以用to be？

to be在这里到底是什么用法呀？

自己顶，快来看看我的问题呀

(B) The modernization program for the steel mill, hopefully (to be) completed in the late 1980’s, will cost approximately 51 million dollars.

B has a few problems:

1)The main problem comes from the two terms in the first part of the sentence. As a result, hopefully (to be) completed has no clear referent.

2) "to be" has to be added. Even added, "to be" still can not make the sentence correct due to problem 1) above.

3) It seems to me that ETS doesn't like "hopefully" that much in terms of discribing something other than people, although grammatically it is perfectly used here. Some one please confirm that.
