[求助]请教大全112和hope的用法

dreadpower

112.An unusually strong cyclist can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set a new distance record for human-powered aircraft in MIT’s diaphanous construction of graphite fiber and plastic.
(A) can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set
(D) is hopeful to set
    答案是A
  
    我查了hope和hopeful的用法
    hope（sb）to do sth / hope that / hope for sth / in hopes of 希望着
     be [feel] hopeful that [of, about] 对...抱希望[持乐观态度]
    D选项is hopeful to 的用法正确吗？？

老俞的讲座里讲过：hopeful & hopefully 都是不正是的用法，如果在题目中出现，一定要改为it is hoped.

我爱周末
