解析 Verb form; Grammatical construction
The sentence provides a reason for why "many people" consider a certain Mediterranean island to be "ungovernable." It has the form X is Y, with X a noun phrase that refers to the reason in terms of what is being explained. Y provides the explanation.
A This sentence has two words next to one another that would each, by itself, have the same function. Each of because and that could serve alone to introduce the explanation and is provided by portion Y. Furthermore, in addition to introducing a redundancy, the two words together make the sentence ungrammatical. Removing any one of these words would resolve this issue.
B If the word that were inserted between is and the, then it would be more immediately clear, when reading this sentence, where the explanation begins (immediately after the word that). Furthermore, learned distrusting and neutralizing all written laws should be learned to distrust and to neutralize all written laws.
C In this sentence, the verb consider needs to agree with was. As it stands, consider pertains to the present while was pertains to the past.
D Correct. This sentence follows recommendations made in connection with sentence A.
E As in sentence C, the verb consider needs to agree with was.
The correct answer is D.
