问题 ... he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations.
选项
答案他认为或许正因为这种困难，他迫使自己对要说的每句话都经过长时间的认真思考，从而能发现自己在推理和观察中的错误，结果这反而成为他的优点。
解析 compensating advantage为本句的翻译难点。该短语的字面义为“补偿优势”，如照此直译，读者很难明白其确切含义。此时可采用意译法将其深层含义译出。compensating advantage的深层含义是语言表达上的困难(this very difficulty)不完全是坏事，它反而可以带来一定的优势(迫使自己对要说的每句话都经过长时间的认真思考，从而能发现自己在推理和观察中的错误)，这种优势也算得上是对“这种困难”所带来的劣势的一种补偿。据此可将compensating advantage处理为“反而成为他的优点”。
