38.   Although many art patrons can readily differentiate a good debenture from an undesirable one, they are much less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and fakes.

(A) much less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and固定用法错

(B) far less expert in distinguishing good paintings from poor ones, authentic art from

(C) much less expert when it comes to distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art from代词指代错/固定用法错/不平行

(D) far less expert in distinguishing good paintings and poor ones, authentic art and固定用法错（B）

(E) far less the expert when it comes to distinguishing between good painting, poor ones, authentic art, and固定用法错/代词无指代/between..and 错/区别的内容不对

The best answer will follow the idiomatic form distinguishing X from Y. （固定用法） The substitution of and for from makes choices A, C, D, and E faulty. （错误用法） Moreover, far is a better modifier of less expert than much is in A and C, （？？？）when it comes to distinguishing is wordy in C and E, and E fails to acknowledge that two distinctions are being considered – one between good and poor paintings, another between authentic art and fakes. （区别的内容不对）B is the correct answer or this question of middle difficulty.

far is a better modifier of less expert than much is in A and C, （？？？）

far/much有什么区别吗

谢谢

我的整理中much好像都是修饰褒义词的，相关的表达还有：well below / much more / far less / far more / far greater等等。由此可见，well可以修饰含贬义的形容词，而far则可以修饰褒义或贬义的形容词，而much一般只修饰含褒义的形容词。

这个观点不保证正确，仅作参考。

哈哈，至少偶没看到过，所以只有自己总结了，你可以用much在OG-SC里搜一下，好像都是褒义的，至少我是通过这个办法建立概念的。
