84、又想起一道sc，大体是这样的，希望NN补充~（by jswxshp89）

It comes as surprising that scientists still struggling on something so basic as deciding the question that a group of organisms develop a species.
A.as deciding the question that
B.such as deciding whether
C.as how to decide the question whether
D.as the question how to decide
E.like deciding how

（by 整理者：B，E可由as surprising…as…排除；私以为选C。。。求NN讨论之）

牛牛是对的

It may come as a surprise to see scientists struggling to agree on something so basic as how to decide that a group of organisms form a species. Perhaps it is the Latin that gives species names the whiff of absolute certainty and that has misled the public into thinking the rules were simple.

A.as deciding the question that
B.such as deciding whether
C.as how to decide the question whether
D.as the question how to decide
E.like deciding how

我觉得会不会是D呢, It comes as surprising (that scientists still struggling on something so basic) as the question how to decide a group of organisms develop a species.
C中, 感觉 question 和whether重复, 要不就是 as how to decide whether OR as how to decide the question that.
A 感觉也对样, as surprising..... as deciding the question, 晕了.

这样句子的意思就不通了吧？
原文我的理解是：让人有些吃惊，科学家们仍然在一些非常基础的问题上挣扎，比如怎样确定一群生物是否发展成一个物种

句子结构貌似应该是。。

It comes as surprising （that scientists still struggling on something so basic） as （how to decide the question whether a group of organisms develop a species）.

第一个括号里的算事件1，第二个括号里的算事件2。
句子就是说事件1和事件都是一样那么令人惊讶的。。。

仔细想了想，应该是C。提出来大家讨论
句子的结构：
It comes (as surprising ) that ...
something (so basic) as how to ...
这里不用such as是因为不是举例，如果something改成problems 则应该是struggling on problems so basic such as ...

It comes as surprising that scientists still struggling on something so basic as deciding the question that a group of organisms develop a species.

A.as deciding the question that
B.such as deciding whether
C.as how to decide the question whether
D.as the question how to decide
E.like deciding how

同意LS的理解。。。。

我觉得符合中国人的表达应该是：
The fact that scientists still struggling on something so basic comes as surprising as how to decide the question whether a group of organisms develop a species.

当然 "the fact" 也是GMAT反对的用法。

我咋觉得A 里面的that不是跟着so的呀，是个宾语从句修饰前面的名词的吧？
我觉得A好呀～

私以为后半句的意思就是。。。如果判断是不是由一组有机生物发展出一个物种 我觉得A完全没有表达出这个意思 as surprising as deciding the question that ...如果是that引导宾语从句，那么that后面的内容就是说明question的，那么句子就成了 question=a group of 有机物 develop a speice。我觉得这样不太通, that a group of....没有表达出question的意思。

mayshadow

这句子as as的重要性 大于 so that，A选项的that在逻辑上和so that的that 是不同的，大家体味一下句子
