大全12、
A little under a million years ago, the briny waters of the Baltic Sea began flooding into the cold North Atlantic: geologists are still debating whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm.
(A) whether the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm
(B) if the flood was gradual or created a cataclysm
(C) about whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic
(D) whether the flood was gradual or cataclysmic(D)
(E) whether the flood was gradual or it created a cataclysm
C和D的唯一的区别在于C多了一个debate,但是我今天查了牛津双解词典(手上暂无其他词典),用法说debate (about) sth,并举了几个例子 what are they debating (about)? / we're just debating what to do next./ they debated closing the factory.
我想请问的是:此题是因为简洁的需要才选D的,还是说debate about的用法是错误的呢?有没有大牛能帮我看看debate的用法呢?谢谢! |
