问题 Plausible though it sounds, the weakness of the hypothesis is that it does not incorporate all relevant evidence.
选项 A、Plausible though it sounds, the weakness of the hypothesis
B、Even though it sounds plausible, the weakness of the hypothesis
C、Though plausible, the hypothesis’ weakness
D、Though the hypothesis sounds plausible, its weakness
E、The weakness of the hypothesis which sounds plausible
答案 D
解析 根据第8条原则，让步状语从句中的it应优先指代主句的主语，即the weakness ofthe hypothesis，根据第二章的核心词原则，it应指the weakness，但通过句意理解，it代theweakness在逻辑上不通，而应指代the hypothesis，由此可判断A、B错，同时在A、B中还有一个缺陷：即that从句中的it在指代上仍是不清楚。C：我们知道，一些状语从句可用省略状态(条件：当主句主语与从句的主语一致，且从句的动词是be动词，可采用连词+后面的表语形式表示省略状语从句。详看“从句”一章)。在此处，根据此规则，可还原出让步从句为：Though the weakness is plausible，显然与原意的“猜想是看似合理的”不一致，C错。E中从表达上说是对的，但仍有两个缺陷：(1)把原句的让步状语从句改为一限制性定语，语气削弱了；(2)其未划线部分中的it从语法上应指代“the weakness”，但从逻辑上讲应指代“the hypothesis”。D是正确的，保持了原有的让步状语从句，而且用the hypothesis取代了“it”，避免了指代不清的嫌疑；同时，这一替换使得其表语从句中的it不再模糊，只能指“hypothesis”。
