选项 A、no administration can really be said to control
B、no administration can be said that it really controls
C、that no administration can really be said to control
D、that no administration can really be said that it controls
E、that it cannot be said that any administration really controls
答案A
解析 Grammatical construction; Verb form
The point of this sentence is to explain analysts’ common two-part belief about the limited power of elected officials to control a national economy. It presents this belief as the direct object in the main clause, [a]nalysts believe, and introduces it with the subordinating conjunction that, which governs both the positive dependent clause (decisions... can hurt) introduced by whereas, and the subsequent negative independent clause (no administration can .. . be said to control. ..).The additional appearances of that in some of the versions of the sentence are ungrammatical.
A Correct. Introduced by the subordinating conjunction that, the complex clause succinctly contrasts leaders’ powers to hurt the economy with their inability to control all economic forces.
B The idiom can be said to would be appropriate, but no administration can be said that it is ungrammatical.
C The repetition of that is ungrammatical, since both clauses are governed by the initial appearance of that after [a]nalysts believe.
D This version of the sentence combines the mistakes described in (B) with those described in (C).
E The repetition of that is ungrammatical, since both clauses are governed by the first appearance of that. The appearance of it makes the sentence unnecessarily wordy and convoluted.
The correct answer is A.
