僵尸，红字部分是哪里来的？我表示反对，significant 和 significantly 仅仅是词性的差别，没有意思的差别。

significant
adjective 1. important; of consequence.

2. having or expressing a meaning; indicative; suggestive: a significant wink.

3. Statistics . of or pertaining to observations that are unlikely to occur by chance and that therefore indicate a systematic cause.



而你如果输入significantly，出来的还是significant.

在统计学的语境里，我们也说
The difference is (statistically) significant.
A is significantly different from B.
这两个significant(ly)意思等效，只是词性不同而已。

当然，这里的significant倒不是说狭义的统计学量化，可以理解为substantially. 但总之，词性差异，不是意思差异。

这里E的错误主要就是agreement.
