The investigations of many psychologists and anthropologists support the generalization of there being little that is a significant difference in the underlying mental processes manifested by people from different cultures.

(B) of there being little that is significantly different

 

(C) of little that is significantly different

 

(D) that there is little that is significantly different

 

(E) that there is little of significant differences

最后选择实在DE之间进行的，觉得E比D简洁。但是正确答案是D。

请问D对在哪里？

1.significant有歧义。可能是意义重大的意思。

2.little of 后面要修饰amount,不能修饰quantity.所以应该用few不能用Little。

significant表示重要的

significantly表示程度，大大地

两个词意思不同，ABC很好排除，主要集中在DE两个选项。原文后面有一个from

固定搭配是different from，因此E的difference不对

D选项significantly different表示“大大地不同”

选D

个人意见，欢迎拍砖

umm.difference from的搭配还是可以的.

两位解释得很清楚，十分感谢

我这样理解E的，little是名词，of significant differences作为修饰，不知有何问题？

其实不是很明白句子的意思

little后面总觉得缺了个先行词。。。

little就是名词，在这里也就是充当你说的先行词

哦~~明白了 之前一直觉得little后面要加个词 找到例句了

The little that I have seen of his work is satisfactory. 他的工作就我所见的那一小部分而言是令人满意的.
