In the English speaking world Anton Chekhov is by far better known for his plays than for his short stories, but it was during his lifetime that Chekhov‘s stories made him popular while his plays were given a more ambivalent reception, even by his fellow writers.

A. by far better known for his plays than for his short stories, but it was during his lifetime that

B. by far better known for his plays than he was for his short stories, but during his lifetime

C. known far better for his plays than he was for his short stories, but during his lifetime it was

D. far better known for his plays than were his short stories, but it was during his lifetime that

E. far better known for his plays than for his short stories, but during his lifetime

A.If by far is intended to modify is better known . . . it should be placed after known, or set off by commas, to prevent far from seeming to go with better. If by far is intended to modify better, this is incorrect usage. （我记得by far是可以修饰比较级和最高级的，此处的解释知识点是什么？）

B. He was introduces additional words that do not contribute to meaning.（此处就算要补出补得也应该是he is，而且此处不补出也不会有歧义所以为了简洁还是不补出的好，是吗？）

谢谢大神解答了

a中by far的位置有歧义，可以看成修饰is，到目前为止是xxx。far better就没有这个歧义了。
he was是不用补出的。

by far明白了确实会有歧义，至于he was 补出的问题，是不是不补出对句意的理解没有问题还是不补出的好？

从简洁考虑不补出的好。但是我记得是prep08还是07写过，补出也不能算错。还是看选项了，选择最优。

不过b项前面是is，后面补出的是was，看句子意思不应该有时态的转变的。补出的话应该补he is。
