885-87, 如何分辨?

carefield

87.    The debate over bilingual education centers on the issue of whether the United States should foster the idea of single common language, an idea, some believe, that has in the past been crucial in binding diverse constituencies together.
(A) been crucial in binding diverse constituencies together
(B) been crucial as a binding together of diverse constituencies
(C) been crucial to bind together constituencies that are diverse
(D) become crucial in binding together diverse constituencies
(E) become crucial to bind together constituencies that are diverse

KEY: A, 我选了D, 我想BIND TOGETHER, TOGETHER 的位置可前可后, 两者区别应该是BEEN 和 BECOME, 请问如何区分?

idea---has been crucial;idea---has become crucial,
think twice, idea can become?? so illogical, right??

有个in the past,我觉得has been比has become要好点。也说不出所以然，感觉.

thanks, my friend told me it's an idiom" be crucial", actually i'm still not sure what's the point of the question.

My standpoint: first of all ,the idea has once been there,if they want to use become,there must be some indication before the idea come out or there might be some comparation; second be crucial in doing.no one would say a idea. is crucial to do...;finally,bind sth. together is better than bind together sth.( as I know,people like to say the former one.You can look up in dictionary)

一些观点
是language变得crucial，而不是idea。idea和believe都是插入成分，而关系代词用的又是that，说明先行词是language，idea和believe只是作为同位语补充
in the past表示了一个持续的时间，become是瞬间动词，此处使用不宜

如果象你这么说的花，an idea 就时一个名词孤立做同位语了，可他不成句呀？我认为后面that 从句时idea的定从从而做同位语从句。some believe 插入语。
