求问一道语法题 there be

stevegt

There has been a change in how men think of land, a change from thinking it simply private property to that now of a limited national resource, with an inherent public interest transcending the individual owner’s prerogatives.
(A) There has been a change in how men think of land, a change from thinking it simply private property to that now of
(B) There have been changes in how men think of land, a change from that of simple private property to now that of
(C) There has been a change in how men think of land, a change from once considering it simply private property to now considering it
(D) Once men used to think of land as simply private property, but they consider it now
(E) Once thought of simply as private property, land is now considered

觉得这道题很奇怪，每个选项都不象正确答案

Ａfrom thinking it...to that now of 不对称所以错

B changes...., a change...不对称,错!加上 a change 后面的that职代不明确

C 个人觉得相比之下是正确答案,但是 there be +  changes 好象不妥,这也是AB选项的通病.

D once 和 used to 语意重复,同时once , but 没有完整主句.错

E 语法没有问题,也很简洁,但是我觉得改写了原句的意思,而且主动改被动.

请NN指教

OG225: there is still a sizable population...
GWD8-11: there are no legal limits for cob as there are for monkfish...

good note-taking is the key for studying SC

thanks a ton, pal

But the question is that isn’t change an abstract noun? Or, in your perspective there-be structure is not always wrong unless there-be refers to a fishy abstract noun like “there is a hypothesis”, right?
