66.   In the mid-1920’s the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company was the scene of an intensive series of experiments that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers’ performance.

(A) that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers’ performance

(B) investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers’ performance

(C) for investigating what are the effects in workers’ performance that changes in working conditions would cause

(D) that investigated changes in working conditions’ effects on workers’ performance（B）

(E) to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers’ performance

看了前人讨论，还是不明白，为什么不能选E. 请指教，谢谢！

E sounds awkward. One would normally write what effects rather than what the effects.

sorry, but I did not get it. I doubt wether there are other grammar points in this question. Thanks!

9.       Astronomers at the Palomar Observatory have discovered a distant supernova explosion, one that they believe is a type previously unknown to science.

(A) that they believe is

(B) that they believe it to be

(C) they believe that it is of

(D) they believe that is（E）

(E) they believe to be of

Choice E is best. The pronoun that in A and B should be deleted, since the pronoun one is sufficient to introduce the modifier and the sentence is more fluid without that.

这里说thta应该省掉，我理解是定语从句先行词做宾语的时候省略先行词。那么在补充题66中的E应该比B好啊，B没有省that.
