求教：GWD26-Q17 will be to与will区别？！

800120summer

Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes

undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale

developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular

asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A.     a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood

that a particular asteroid or comet may

B.     a scale that astronomers have developed rates how

likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to

C.     astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely

a particular asteroid or comet will be to

D.     astronomers have developed a scale for rating the

likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will

E.      astronomers have developed a scale that rates the

likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.

答案是C，我一直徘徊在C和D之间，不知道为什么要用will be to， 牛人们可否解释一下？！

首先developed a scale后面就应该用to表示目的而不是for,后面的will be to其实是分开的，will be和前面的how likely a particular asteroid or comet相连,然后才是to collide with Earth

太牛了！一语道破天机！

谢谢楼上的牛牛！

呵呵。。大家都是互相学习

C是comet will be likely to collide

E的意思不通，likelihood that比较好，likelihood of comet不好
原句要表示的是collide这个可能性，而非comet的可能性
may和likelihood重复。

可我明明在Manhattan P250上面看到写着be to结构ambiguous，the GMAT avoids it.

我也是看了manhattan有点被误导了， 你看一楼的解释，will be和to是分开的，所以是可以用的，这不是manhattan说的那种情况

汗，不是manhattan误导，楼上的解释是对的~就好像小学生造句用“用功” 然后有的小朋友就会给造成：有一种药是用功劳木和其他药材煮成的....大概这样
是按照沙发说的那样，这个结构代表了may的意思....

想问一下为什么C错了呀？
