that this most bland and circumspect of men was a mystic guided in both public and private life by omens, messages received at seances, and signs from heaven.

这个最寡欲、谨慎的人是个神秘的人物，无论他的政治生活还是私人生活，都受到预兆、降神会上得到的预言、以及来自天堂的信号的支配。

前面是this most bland and circumspect of men，这个结构怎么去理解？

LES

形容词最高级的省略形式：

the(或者其它限定词，如本题中的this) + 形容词最高级 + (单数名词 － 通常省略)  + of + 复数名词

举个简单的例子可能更好理解：

the most elaborate (bird nest) of all bird nests

You are the smartest (boy) of all the boys in your class.

精彩！和我上次问的那道the poor有点相似，谢谢！

不能省

OG已经说了.

In choices C and D, that is required to introduce the clause x was a mystic if that introduces the second clause, he was guided....

关于that可以看看这个

that引导的从句

Can I ask one more question here?

Which is the subject that "guided in both public and private life..." modified?  "this most bland and circumspect of men" or "a mystic"? or,it's same?

Thanks.
