48.       According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.

(A) its merits, the proposal to tax

(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing

(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing

D) the proposal’s merits, to tax
(E) the proposal’s merits are, taxing

我觉得E更靠谱啊，根据意思，引起灾难性效果的应该是收税这件事情，而不应是proposal，提个建议而已

不会有啥后果呀，所以主语应用taxing才对呀

望各位牛牛点拨！

上来就选的D 但是E貌似也有理。。。。 同问

iwvers

if enacted, 要修饰proposal啊

zengzihao

但D不是也没有修饰proposal吗？

dowecho

whatever its mertis 和 if enacted都是插入语，一般先去掉再做题。如果选DE的话，

taxing。。。和to。。。都不能跟Have（谓语）连接。所以选A。
According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all

capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect

on Wall Street trading and employment.
