问原889 section 6 第４题

efficiency

Of all the possible disasters that threaten American agriculture, the possibility of an adverse change in climate is maybe the more difficult for analysis.

(A) is maybe the more difficult for analysis

(B) is probably the most difficult to analyze

(C) is maybe the most difficult for analysis

(D) is probably the more difficult to analyze（B）

(E) is, it may be, the analysis that is most difficult

这道题目的答案B中将原来的Maybe改成了probably,不是对原文意思的变化吗？

为什么反而是正确答案呢？

望指教！！！

maybe 通常用于句首，表示不完全肯定，避免做出明确地回答，或是表示委婉的反驳，常用于口语。probably 指根据一些证据或逻辑推导，表示xx是可能的，但没有得到证明和证实，含义是很有可能，十有八九，含有的肯定的成分比较多。C项maybe 用法不对，而且不能有效的表达句子的意思。

B is the best choice, though C makes sense on informal occasions.
