[問題]大全987-278

[Alycia]

278. Europeans have long known that eating quail sometimes makes the eater ill, but only recently has it been established that the illness is caused by a toxin present in the quail’s body only under certain conditions.
(A) Europeans have long known that eating quail sometimes makes
(B) Europeans have long known quail eating is sometimes able to make
(C) Eating quail has long been known to Europeans to sometimes make
(D) It has long been known to Europeans that quail eating will sometimes make
(E) It has long been known to Europeans that quail, when it is eaten, has sometimes made

The answer is A....but I chose D.....It should start with "It", right?

[freshmanduke]

我覺得D不行的原因有二
第一 歐洲人知道某件事是事實 也就是說eating quail會造成人生病 這件事是一個普遍知道的現象 故用現在式 D卻用will未來式來表示 當然不對
第二 主動比被動優 AT的修辭定理 故選A

這樣看不知對部隊
subject: eating
verb: make

A: makes (correct)
B: make (wrong for sure)
C: make (wrong for sure)
D: will make (not as precise as A)
E: made (previous sentence use "has", so made is wrong)
