问题 Financial uncertainties from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition is.
选项 A、from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition is
B、from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be even more serious a deterrent to the nuclear industry than political opposition
C、from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be an even more serious deterrent to the nuclear industry than political opposition
D、resulting from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove to be an even more serious deterrent to the nuclear industry than is political opposition
E、resulting from the accident at Three Mile Island may prove even more deterring to the nuclear industry than political opposition
答案 D
解析 First, deterring to the nuclear industry is not correct, as deter is a transitive verb and requires a direct object. Furthermore, while prove does not have to be followed by to be, here to be is required for parallelism with political opposition is. Finally, even though financial uncertainties from is not strictly incorrect, financial uncertainties resulting from would be clearer.
A    This choice is flawed for the reasons above.
B    As worded, this choice can be read as comparing the degree to which the financial uncertainties are a deterrent with the degree to which the financial uncertainties are political opposition. To fix this, we must insert the verb is either before or after political opposition. Furthermore, the sentence would be clearer if it said resulting from. Finally, even more serious a deterrent would more appropriately read an even more serious deterrent.
C    The comparison is again faulty as in choice B. Also, the sentence would be clearer if it said resulting from.
D    Correct. This choice clearly conveys the intended meaning. While it is possible to argue that is would be better placed after political opposition, it is technically correct in either place. Realistically, this issue is minor compared to those in each of the other choices.
E    Deterring to the nuclear industry is not correct, as deter is a transitive verb and requires a direct object.
The correct answer is D.
