Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history, maybe none is more concentrated as the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto American shores in little more than three decades.

(A) maybe none is more concentrated as (B) it may be that none is more concentrated as (C) perhaps it is none that is more concentrated than (D) maybe it is none that was more concentrated than (E) perhaps none was more concentrated than
答案选E,没有意见。。。但OG中关于C,D的解释是it must refer to something( unlike phrases such as "it is clear that.."
在我看来, C,D it is none that...应该是强调的句式,因为去掉 it is...that 后是完整的句子,所以我觉得it应该是没有词义,不用指代的。
强调句式的that后面必须是一个完整的句子 it is likely that I will not go back home. CD后面都不是完整句子,所以不能看作是强调句式。

PREP08关于强调句的解释“区别强调句型和其他从句的最好方法是“试减法”。也就是说,如果把句子中“It be…that…”这一框架去掉,句子的剩余部分(可以进行位置上的调整)结构完整,意思通顺,合乎逻辑,则that引导的是强调句型,否则为其他从句。例如:It was at nine yesterday that we met the film star. 运用“试减法”,此句可改写为:We met the film star at nine yesterday. 显然,句子结构完整,意思通顺,故为强调句型。”
