题目分析:
本题主要考查more和most在措辞区别。
选项分析:
A选项: Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:在选项的开始出现了what has yet been discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds(比之前发现的这些证据都要更引人注目)。在逻辑上,既然比现在已发现的所有证据都要更加引人注目,那么显然就相当于这个证据是已发现的证据中是最引人注目的。因此,用most dramatic这种表达更为高效。
C选项:more错误同选项(B)。
D选项:本选项在more和most的措辞上是没有问题的,但that have yet been discovered这个定语从句是不正确的。该定语从句会就近修饰一个复数名词,但不管是鸟,还是恐龙,抑或是恐龙和鸟,均是不正确的。在逻辑上,“到现在为止被发现”的应该是证据。
E选项:本选项错误同选项 (B)。
除了最高级语意相同下更简洁。用比较级的话,要排除自身,类似one 与the others 的比较,而不是one 与all的比较。bc 都有这个问题。
除了该用最高级以外,more+adj+n本来就是一个会引起歧义的说法
比如offer more dramatic evidence, 到底是更dramatic的evidence还是更多的dramatic evidence呢?
