885--补充---240（请教一个用法）！！！

halcyon

240.    The extraordinary diary of William Lyon Mackenzie King, prime minister of Canada for over twenty years, revealed that this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic guided in both public and private life by omens, messages received at séances, and signs from heaven.
(A) that this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic guided in both public and
(B) that this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic and also guided both in public as well as
(C) this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic and that he was guided in both public and
(D) this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic and that he was guided in both public as well as
(E) this most bland and circumspect of men to have been a mystic and that he guided himself both in public as well as

that this most bland and circumspect of men 中的主语核心词 是
that this most bland and circumspect 么， 我看后面的谓语是 was。

语法书上说 the+形容词 可以将 形容词名词化， 指示代词+adj. 也可以么？？？

补全之后是：this most bland and circumspect man of men， 因为后面有men, 所以前面省略了， ETS还是遵循不产生歧义的原则， 在这个前提下， 指示代词+形容词后的名词可以省略。 这样， 正好对应单数was.
