D.      astronomers have developed a scalefor rating the likelihood that a particularasteroid or comet will

E.       astronomers have developed a scalethat rates the likelihood of a particular asteroidor comet that may

Key C

D为啥错误？develop 。。。 一定要to么？

不知道  感觉是不是likelihood是抽象名词  不如likely好啊。。但是这个应该是相对错误。。  等NN回答

还是很感谢呢

stellina

因为这个是表目的的 用to do比for doing好

buffonjuventus

谢谢LS

lz读下句意：

对公众对于小行星可能产生威胁的好奇作出的反应，宇航员开发了一种测量仪去评估...的可能性（如果这里是“为了评估... 可能性”感觉没有去评估来的好，楼主读读感觉一下）、

语法就读它的语意嘛，就跟我们高中修改病句差不多

这题本是争议题。

manhattan老师说是D。

我觉得这题C中的to do是很好。但是后面的will to be。。。。唉。不懂啊。

jbc88

这里的will to be太诡异了。

我刚刚GOOGLE了下，will to be也并不多见。

谢谢楼上两位了，JBC，我真是没看懂这里。我觉得D纯的语法错误应该是没有吧，这里的for doing肯定没有to do号就是了，可是不能算错吧？！
那么模仿C的句式，how likely will Leonardo Dicaprio be to kiss Kate Winslet?读起来好别扭啊……
肯定是how likely will Leonardo Dicaprio kiss Kate Winslet的表达要好吧
然后the likelihood that Leonardo Dicaprio will kiss Kate Winslet，很顺啊
