Arabesque

135.     (31742-!-item-!-188;#058&004710)

 

At one time, the majestic American chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York
            State and Georgia.

 

(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could

(B) so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could

(C) so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to

(D) prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could

(E) prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to

答案是A 但是it was said后面是不是少了一个that 主语从句的that应该不能省略吧

请教一下 谢谢!

顶，同问

我也觉得A中缺少that，但是当时选择了A是因为觉得好象B中错误更明显一些，A相对正确，晕

我也想问，因为这样才狠心选了B的。it is said that的that能省么？

我觉得可以把A中的it was said看成类似插入语，理解成“据说”，it可以没有指代，所以后面也没必要补出that了

对吭，这里it was said如果理解成一个句子确实别扭。谢谢！
