文字解析

答案:
E

This sentenc

e is intended to be about people who, because they do not trust themselves to make wise investment decisions, turn to stockbrokers for advice. As the sentence is worded, however, it is stockbrokers who do not trust themselves to choose wisely. The sentence is made even more incomprehensible by the peculiar placement of the adverbs in the phrase, could be easily bought directly. A.This version of the sentence incorrectly identifies the subject described by the opening modifier as stockbrokers; the adverb easily is misplaced in the phrase could be easily bought. B.As in answer choice A, the opening clause illogically modifies stockbrokers rather than many people. The tense of the verb phrase could easily have bought does not match the tense of are helping earlier in the main clause. C.Although the opening modifier is correctly attached to people rather than stockbrokers, the sentence is unnecessarily wordy (for help from them). D.To buy is not idiomatic in this context—in buying would be correct—and the tense of the verb could have been does not match the tense of the verb earlier in the clause; the point is not that people are turning to stockbrokers for help in buying stocks that at some earlier time could have been bought directly, but rather that the stocks could be bought by the people directly at the very time they are seeking help from the stockbrokers. E.Correct. The opening clause correctly modifies many people, and the adverb is correctly placed.
