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 ratherthan would. In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague. E is wordy and garbles the meaning withincorrect 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 sentencestates 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.
选D没有问题! 我的问题是:为什么Ｃ不行呀？ 自己感觉C就是不对,因为necessary的修饰位置发生了变动,但怎么也说不出理由来? 而OG的解释看不明白? 那里awkward and vague了? 还请多多指教!
(C) what would be necessary militarily for dealing with such an event如果改成what would be militarily necessary for dealing with such an event可能会好一点。fficeffice" />
例如：She is uncommonly pretty. 方式副词修饰形容词，副词必须前置。She is pretty to an uncommon degree. 方式副词短语修饰形容词，副词后置。
