57.That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent students of the future, did not even mention microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.

(A)That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault
(B)That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault
(C)It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology
(D)It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology

(E)The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said

问题：OG上解释B选项说‘can hardly be said to be at fault’ dose not grammatically complete the subordinate clause，why？

我觉得它的意思是说said后面应该用that而不是to be作为subordinate clause.请讨论。

个人想法哈，补充ＬＳ．

to be at fault前面是人/物，比如she is at fault. Ｂ选项这么写不合规矩。

我觉得B和E（去掉the fact）差不多啊，除了LS说的以外，我觉得还有主语过长导致“头重脚轻”的问题，所以用it来代替了。

我也不明白OG的这个解释，顶顶顶~~~~~
