Not trusting themselves to choose wisely among the wide array of investment
opportunities on the market, "stockbrokers are helping many people who turn to
them to buy stocks that could be easily" bought directly.
(A) stockbrokers are helping many people who turn to them to buy stocks
that could be easily
(B) stockbrokers are helping many people who are turning to them for helpin
buying stocks that they could easily have
(C) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help from them to buy
stocks that could be easily
(D) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help to buy stocks that
easily could have been
(E) many people are turning to stockbrokers for help in buying stocks that
could easily be
针对这题有些疑问想了解
1. easily 的位置问题
A选项官方版的解释the adverb easily is misplaced in the phrase could be
easily bought.
但正确答案E选项could easily be bought
而D选项easily could have been bought 官方版没对easily 位置做出解释
自己的想法是easily作为副词修饰动词，所以应该修饰位置离bought较近
所以D选项会错，另外因为be bought 是强调被动必须放在一起，导致A选项的
easily插在be bought中间，所以错，不知道这样正不正确
2. D选项to buy及E选项in buying
官方版解释对D选项To buy is not idiomatic in this context—in buying
would be correct
从题目的句意中也可了解并不是明显的"表目的"
不知道官方认为不好的原因正是因为to带有目的意味，但many people只是单纯
因为不相信自己的聪明才智而去寻求stockbrokers的帮助，而不是有目的性的求助
不知道这样解释正不正确
另外想确认in buying这里是介系词词组做副词修饰(are turning to stockbrokers
for help)这个动作吗?
希望有大神可以批判一下这样的思路是不是正确的
非常感谢
