这道题大家不觉得很诡异吗……

Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried to keep from being stolen by invaders.

(A)to keep from

(B)to keep it from

(C)to avoid

(D)in order that it would avoid

(E)in order to keep from

In choice A, the phrase/row being stolen lacks the necessary noun or pronoun that specifies what it is that might be stolen. Choice B is best because it provides the pronoun it, which refers to chalice. Like choice A, choices C and E lack the pronoun. D is wordy and awkward in its use of the passive voice. Moreover, avoid is used imprecisely in C and D because it illogically suggests that the chalice is acting to prevent its own theft.

我觉得必然选C吧……这是哪版OG上的题，哪位nn能告知一下？

我记得不能选C，因为chalice自己不能主动发出avoid的动作。这题OG12里面有，解释的比这个版本的清楚很多
