A和D的差别只在in assessing 与in an assessment of 的区别，不知道为什么D要比A好，而本人反而觉得A更简洁，请大家讨论一下吧。多谢！以前的讨论有人提出过这个问题，但是没人作答。

我来回答mm

A和D是有本质区别的哦

A用了分词, 势必需要有符合逻辑意思的主语, 但是这里的主语是the question,不可能做assessing的主语哦

所以肯定要用D拉

如果是分词结构的话, 要考虑逻辑主语的问题. 所以如果A项变成: Assessing the problems faced by rural migrant workers, 后面的question肯定不能作它的逻辑主语.

我记得坛子里有人说过, 这种结构的修改办法就是改成介词短语. 但我不明白的是, 本题的A项在assessing前面加了in这个介词, 是不是就应该视为介词短语、而不再受逻辑主语的限制了呢?
