At one time,the majestic Amercian chestnut was so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could jump
from tree to tree without once touching the ground between New York State and Georgia.
(A) so prevalent that it was said a squirrel could
(B) so prevalent that a squirrel was said that it could
(C) so prevalent for a squirrel to be said to be able to
(D) prevalent enough that it was said a squirrel could
(E) prevalent enough for a squirrel to be said to be able to
答案选A的，但是他宾语从句把that省了，觉得不好。解析说B、C用了被动，不如主动好，但我觉得A也用了被动呀。D和E用enough错了。

哈哈 我前一秒钟刚刚在做这题
A不是用被动 it was said是固定搭配
而且这不是宾语从句 而是同位语从句 that可以省

我怎么觉得A不对，it is said that是“据说”的意思，it是形式主语，that引导真正的主语从句，that不可以省啊。。。
求指教~

我认为这里是同位语从句啊 that后面的内容就说said的内容
我不是特别确定，但是我觉得，如果按你的说法这是个主语从句的话，那么它可以到过来..就是that（+内容）is said。感觉上有一点小诡异。
我觉得这和It is important that... → that...is important 还不大一样
我认为的就是it is said就是一种固定搭配 that做它的同位语


不过偶没求证过，不敢说的太绝对。。

pennyconan

it is said that就是一个固定搭配啊

that后面的内容就说said的内容
如果是同位语的话，难道说said是做名词？

我试一下哈
曾经，这种高大的American chestnut（一种树）在 New York State and Georgia 非常多，据说，松树能从一个树上上跳到另一个树上而一次都不用碰到地面
就是来形容树非常多，密度大，松树都能直接从一棵树上蹦另一颗树上去，掉不下来。
