问题 Although Ms. Bakara had previously emphasized that she could not speak for other Black people, she ventured to do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would agree with her.

选项 A、do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would agree
B、speak on this one occasion since she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would have agreed
C、so speak on this one occasion due to her firmly believing that many minority people, even most, would likely agree
D、do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, if not most, would agree
E、do so on this one occasion since she firmly believed many minority people, and even most, would likely agree

答案D

解析 根据对前面的动宾结构作替代用do so的表达原则,可排除B、C;E中有两个明显缺陷:(1)宾语从句缺引导词that;(2)主句中的firmly与宾语从句中的likely在语义上是矛盾的。A、E中各有一重大表达缺陷,即:likely most或and even most作为插入成分在表达上是含糊不清的,因为这样会导致人们不知它们与之前many的关系,是两者取一,还是两者兼而有之?同时,无论这两个选择中的是哪一个,在句意理解上都是不妥的。D正确,用if not most对前面的many做了一补充限定,即“如果不是大多数的话”。
