pourquoiwhy

A little under a million years ago, the briny waters of the Baltic Sea began flooding into the cold North Atlantic: geologists are still debating whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm

(A) whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm

(B) if the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm

(C) about whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic

(D) whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic（D）

(E) whether the flood was gradual or it created a cataclysm

debate about 不对吗？？or后面为什么不能加其他东西？

k2o33

debate about sth没错，但是这里用得是wether引导的宾语从句

tv34377773

系表结构 （flood was gradual） 和动宾结构created a cataclysm是不能并列的 排除abe，debate的用法我也不清楚

宫小明

debate作动词一般及物，常用debate whether/名词，作名词一般加over/about。

这里是做动词所以就直接加whether
注释上是这么写的...
