问大全437

437.It appears illogical to some people that West Germany, which bans such seeming lesser evils as lawn-mowing on Sundays, still has some 4,000 miles of highway with no speed limit.
(A) which bans such seeming lesser evils as
(B) which bans such seemingly lesser evils as
(C) which is banning such seeming lesser evils like
(D) banning such evils that seem lesser, for example
(E) banning such seeming lesser evils like

怎么觉得这里A和B都讲的通。

seeming/seemingly 作“表面上的/地”理解。

A中seeming跳跃修饰evils----“表面上的罪”，即“实际上不是”，本来割草就不是罪恶嘛。

B中seemingly修饰lesser----“表面上次要的”，这里是不是反而有些不合适？毕竟割草不算罪恶。

查一下longman，我们可以知道seeming一般直接加在名词前面。

Seeming:

[only before noun] formal

所以, seeming + adj. 必错，基本上GMAT里的答案都是seemingly.
