og26-从前人贴中未找到答案

26. Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility of an adverse change in climate is maybe the more difficult for analysis.>>

(A)  is maybe the more difficult for analysis>>

(B)   is probably the most difficult to analyze>>

(C)  is maybe the most difficult for analysis>>

(D)  is probably the more difficult to analyze>>

(E)   is, it may be, the analysis that is most difficult

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares one thing, an adverse change in climate, to all other things in its class-- that is, to all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, therefore, the sentence requires the superlative form of the adjective, most difficult, rather than the comparative form, more difficult, which appears in choices A and D. In A and C, the use of maybe is unidiomatic, and difficult should be completed by the infinitive to analyze. Choice E is awkwardly phrased and, when inserted into the sentence, produces an illogical structure: the possibility ... is... the analysis that.

ets说Choice E is awkwardly phrased 是指的it may be吧,说它是笨拙的作为短语,怎么理解?

另外说when inserted into the sentence, produces an illogical structure: the possibility ... is... the analysis that.

当插入句子中,产生了一个没有逻辑的结构......可我觉得没有it may be ,e的结构已经没有逻辑了,根插不插入这个it may be没有任何关系牙?

请帮忙解释一下兄弟的疑惑

多谢

他说的插入句子中，好象是说E这个选项插入原文中，而不是这个it may be插入E选项中。

it may be的笨拙，既然能用一个词表达的，那用三个词的表达方式当然奇怪。OG用词偏向简洁，正式，符合逻辑，在不影响逻辑和引起歧义的情况下，越简洁越好。

如果be动词（is或are）前后都是名词时，特别要主意前后两个名词是否一致

比如这个题中E答案的“the possibility of ... is ... the analysis”,明显不对

be动词（is或are）前面使用有些名词时，后面必须接相应的语法结构，

比如the only way to solve that issue is to figure out its historical reasons.
