26. (25911-!-item-!-188;#058&002160)

The investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization of

there being little that is a significant difference in the underlying mental processes manifested by

people from different cultures.

(A) of there being little that is a significant difference

(B) of there being little that is significantly different

(C) of little that is significantly different

(D) that there is little that is significantly different

(E) that there is little of significant differences

资料上的作答如下：

考点:简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）

1)宾语从句强调整体,谓语+宾语结构只强调宾语参考17题

(A) of there being代替that同位语从句表达复杂,笨拙并且不符合习惯.

(B)错误同A选项

(C)错误同A选项

(D)正确,用that同位语从句清楚地解释了generalization的内容

(E) significant differences在这里可以理解为有重要意义的区别,也可以理解为重要的区别,因此不

如significantly表达意思清楚


我怎么看D都是wordy and redundant,  求教C哪里错误了？

谢谢楼上两位了！

就是同解释中说的一样generalization 后面内容较多，不能接of，这样表达不清楚，容易造成逻辑和内容上的复杂和混乱，应该后面直接加that同位语从句，清晰明了。
D选项你觉得wordy应该是that的关系，为什么用that不用of解释同上
自己的一点看法，lz参考一下吧

我觉得generation是一个概况性的名词，和evidence等是一样的，需要用从句来修饰。不知道你同不同意呵呵。

另外D 的两个that 指代也不同
