og 12-sc 57 That educators have not anticipated the impact of
microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it
is their fault: Ah/in Toffler, one of the most prominent
students of the future, did not even mention
microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of
educators who have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology
正确(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault
for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not
anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology can hardly be said
不理解的是OG对B的解释：B     Can hardly be said to be at fault does not
grammatically complete the subordinate
clause.   为什么说没有语法上完成从句呢？
还有C的解释：C     Construction that it is ... who have not is
wordy and awkward; it also distorts
meaning and lacks completion.  不理解啊~

我大致分析下各个选项。A选项主语can hardly be said at fault，非要说成that it is that fault，破坏了整个句子的连贯性，读上去非常不爽，中间主语换了为什么不用逗号隔开，B选项逻辑主语是整个主语从句，不能支撑后面to be at fault。C选项都读不懂要表达什么，C选项是一个围绕fault展开的句子，其中fault才是主语，也就是说这根本就是句只有主语成分的句子，前面3个选项看的我满身难受。E选项绕半天不知道是怎么抽了。D选项就很漂亮，选D。

不太明白1楼的理解。我觉得有点太过于语感...我之前看的时候就没太懂。重新刷OG的时候明白的。
我的理解，供楼主参考哈。
首先：原句没有强调的意思，这里的强调改变了原意。
更重要的是，强调句型是能够还原的。
原句：
it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
这句话还原成正常语序是：
educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology is the fault这是错的。Educator怎么能是fault啊，只有educator is at fault（不是教育家本身是个错误，而是教育家犯了错误）.还原就发现缺少了一个at
.所以OG说C distorts meaning and  lacks competion.
这是我的观点哈: )

C 如果单独拿出来看， who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology.....这句话不觉得少点儿什么么？ 比如后面加个to 啊神马的，总之读起来就不完整。 而且who 作为从句，还是who did not, 用do, did 这种形式更好表达谓语吧。

B. to be at fault...之后呢？ to be at fault of doing something or 神马的。总之读起来句子也不完整。 这个句子如果缩短一点儿，就是that educators can hardly be said to be at fault of not anticipate...blah, blah. 加上后面的，句子才完整。
