据说是真题一道，偶很疑惑，居然使用whether or not！

Researchers agreed that the study of new treatments for heart attack patients was extremely important but more research was needed to determine that balloon anqioplasty preceded with ultrasound was or was not any better for heart attack patients than the balloon procedure by itself.

A...

B：more research was needed for determining whether or not balloon anqioplasty preceded by ultrasound is any better for heart attack patients than is

E:  that more research was needed for determining that balloon anqioplasty preceded by ultrasound is or is not any better for heart attack patients than is;

本题给出的答案是B（其他答案明显不对，只有B/E存在疑惑），我的问题是whether or not可否使用？ OG中给出的解释说whether  or not不如直接使用whether的好，请各位nn给点提示，多谢！

题目不完整, 所以仅从B, E来说, B优于E.

whether or not的问题始终只是属于effective的范畴, 不是correct的问题. 所以答案里既有whether, 又有whether or not的时候, whether优先. 但是如果没有whether, 不能说whether or not是错的.

莫听穿林打叶声，何妨吟啸且徐行。竹杖芒鞋轻胜马，谁怕？一蓑烟雨任平生。

料峭春风吹酒醒。微冷，山头斜照却相迎。回首向来萧瑟处，归去，也无风雨也无晴。

好词呢，回首向来萧瑟处，也无风雨也无晴是我最喜欢的词句之一……中间的归去就省了……因为不喜欢呵呵
