prep 一解释不明白！！！求教！！

Simply because they are genetically engineered does not make it any more likely for plants to

become an invasive or persistent weed, according to a decade-long study published in the journal

Nature.

(A) because they are genetically engineered does not make it any more likely for plants to

(B) because it is genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely to

(C) being genetically engineered does not make it any more likely that plants will

(D) being genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely to

(E) being genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely that it will become

prep 的解释：
(D)正确，动名词 being 作主语，谓语是 does not make。

(E) make 后缺少形式宾语 it，more likely to do 更加简洁。

选D 没问题， 但是为什么说E 少了it形式主语呢？ 如果 E 要是少了，那同理 D 也应该少了啊？ 求解！！

我觉得E用that从句应该用it做形式主语较好。如：make it likely that a plant will become ...
D如果用it形式主语可以说：make it any more likely for a plant to become ... 但是，从简洁起见，可以改作make a plant any more likely to become... ，这里直接用Make sth adj ＋补足语

你说呢？

我觉得这道题的重点是be (more) likely to do吧，
be (more) likely that 的结构肯定是错的。

nemiah

肯定是错的哦？

嗯嗯，很有道理的！ 也就是说如果要用 make sth more likely that +句子的话，这个sth 必须是it 形式宾语，然后来指代that 后面的整个句子。如果是 make a plant likely that a plant will....就繁琐了。 但是 make sth more likely to do 里的 sth 就可以是其他非it的 名词了。 是这个意思吧？

be more likely that 不是错的啊。有这个用法的~

jameshzd

呵呵，我也是自己这么觉得的。因为SC的语法就是看简单有效吧。没有什么固定的说法吧。。 既然有更好的，就选它了。。
欢迎讨论～～

jameshzd

嗯嗯，我觉得“make sth more likely that +句子的话，这个sth 必须是it 形式宾语” 还是有待考证的啊~至少这题D比E 简单有效。

正做到这题 虽然我选对了 但是B为何不对？
