AB、
this sentence has the following form: X does not make...
therefore, whatever goes in the 'x' slot has to be, or function as, a noun. this rules out a-b immediately (these are subordinate clauses, which can't function as nouns).

in choices c-d-e, the 'being' is a gerund (the -ing form that functions as a noun, as in the sentence taking overdoses of vitamins isn't good for your health). since gerunds function as nouns, that structure is permissible.

C、
choice (c) says that "plants" (plural) can become "an invasive or persistent weed" (singular). since multiple plants can't become one weed, that's incorrect.

DE、
make it likely (for somebody) to do something. "it" is fake pronoun which dose not refer to any noun.

make it likely that something happens. "it" is fake pronoun.

make something likely to happen.

(A) because 引导原因状语从句，句子缺少主语；未划线部分的 an invasive 应该由单数形式 a plant 来对应；Be more likely to do 更加简洁

(B) because 错误同A

(C) 未划线部分的 an invasive 应该由单数形式 a plant 来对应；Be more likely to do 更加简洁

(D) 正确

(E) make 后缺少形式宾语 it，more likely to do 更加简洁

make something likely to happen.

simply being genetically engineered 为主语部分

choice a,b: because从句只能跟一个主句作为原因状语，语法上不能够独立作为句子的主语存在。

C plants an invasive 注意划线外的句子！

You could either say \"... make it any more likely that a plant will become ...\" or \"... make a plant any more likely to become...\" You CANNOT combine them to get \"...make a plant any more likely that it will become ...\" That is, if you use \'plant\' as the object of \'make\

E选项 that后面完整句子，不充当成分，就是作为同位语从句，可是逻辑上无法解释

being genetically engineered make that plants will become a weed more likely错

考察句子成分，单独的句子不能做主语；IT做形式主语指代整个句子；sb is more likely to do sth.

状语修饰动词，没法名词化。doing，to do，being done，being+形容词，介宾短语，that/which/who/whose/whom/where/when/whether等可以接定语从句的连词+短语或从句可以名词化。

CD区分：
C的问题有两个，plants是不会成为“ an invasive or persistent weed”，单复数问题；其次, make it more likely that plants will become weed，如果it做形式主语，则"植物变成野草"为事实主语，植物变成野草更可能地，但根据句意应该是植物更可能变成野草。

c选项错在likely只能接形式主语，不能做形式宾语。makes it likely that这个结构本身没有意义，因为that后面从句的关系完可以用likely to do表达，无需搞一个从句。

because引导的状语从句不能做主语，排除ab
c选项plants will become a weed 单复数不匹配
e选项more likely to do，不能跟that从句

choice a,b: because从句只能跟一个主句作为原因状语，语法上不能够独立作为句子的主语存在。
choice c, 形式宾语it指代的对象是 that plants will become invasive or persistent weed. 意思是植物变成野草这件事变得可能。
choice d, make a plant likely to become invasive or persistent weed. 使植物变成野草。

because从属连词，引导句子或分词做原因状语，无法名词化做主语/宾语，
C，make it more likely that plants will become weed，如果it做形式主语，则植物变成野草为事实主语，植物变成野草更可能地，应该是植物更可能变成野草。
E，make a plant more likely that it will become weed，more likely做plant的补语，that无法充当成分，或充当整个句子的同位语，使得植物更可能这件事的内容是植物变成野草，同位的逻辑错误

提问：难道不是make sb. do sth吗？这个词组高中里背到现在导致根本不会选D啊……T.T

AB:不能将because引导的原因状语从句作为主语

a\b缺主语
c.it 指代后面that同位语从句，语意不同，应该是a plant
e. become重复
