大全#112

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
(B) it is hoped, can provide enough power that will set
(C) hopefully can provide enough power, this will set
(D) is hopeful to set
(E) hopes setting

本來幫我一看到時(A)中的 it is hoped放在can 與provide中間時不恰當.所以我選的(d)..
可以請高手解釋為何(d)不對?而(a)正確?

it is hoped,是插入语，不影响主句， 原句是 can provide sth to do sth.
d,去掉了can，情态动词一般不能随意添加。仔细体会语气是不一样的，。
C,中的 it is hoped不恰当

直接删掉了provide enough power这层意思是不妥的。
