问题 The Rorschach test is gaining new respect as a diagnostic tool because it takes only one hour to expose behavior and thought processes that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing.
选项 A、that may be unlikely to emerge in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviewing
B、whose emergence is unlikely in other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews
C、that might not emerge in other procedures or in weeks of ordinary interviews
D、that may not emerge under other procedures or weeks of ordinary interviews
E、likely not to emerge during weeks of ordinary interviewing or in other procedures
答案 C
解析 As worded, it is unclear whether other modifies both procedures and weeks or procedures only. To clarify that other does not modify both procedures and weeks, the correct phrasing here would be in weeks. Also, the construction that may be unlikely to emerge is needlessly wordy; that might not emerge is preferable.
A    This choice is flawed for the reasons given above.
B    This choice is also unclear as to what other is intended to modify. Also, whose is generally restricted to use with people (or, more rarely, animals) rather than with abstractions such as behavior and thought processes.
C    Correct, This choice clearly expresses the intended idea.
D    Although may and might are often
interchangeable, this is not true of may not and might not. This is because may not can be interpreted to mean are not permitted to. This is of course not the intended meaning here; might not cannot be interpreted in this way, and so would be preferable.
E    In this choice, the meaning is unclear. The word other can be interpreted as being contrasted to ordinary interviewing rather than to the Rorschach test; however, it is clear that the sentence intends for these other procedures to be contrasted with the Rorschach test. Furthermore, this version expresses unlikeliness more strongly than the other versions do: something that is likely not to happen is something that has a very low probability of occurring, while something that is unlikely to happen has a relatively higher chance of occurring.
The correct answer is C.
