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 The phrase plausible though it sounds modifies the noun that comes immediately after the comma, namely, the weakness of the hypothesis. As a result, the sentence says that the weakness itself is plausible. It is reasonably clear, however, that the sentence is intended to indicate that the hypothesis sounds plausible, not that the weakness does. Additionally, the referent of the pronoun it is ambiguous. The referent could be either weakness or hypothesis.
A    This choice suffers from the above errors.
B    This choice also inappropriately says that the weakness is what is plausible.
C    This choice also inappropriately says that the weakness is what is plausible
D    Correct. This version appropriately
describes the hypothesis itself as plausible?
E    The phrase which sounds plausible should be set off with commas, or else which should be replaced with that. Furthermore, this choice fails rhetorically in that it does not covey, as it should, how surprising it is that the plausible-sounding hypothesis has  this weakness.
The correct answer is D.
