(of) the three major drinks—tea,coffee and cocoa,tea is drunk by the ____in the world.为什么用of
(of) the three major drinks—tea,coffee and cocoa,tea is drunk by the largest number ofthe people in the world.为什么用of

答案

这里"of”表示“在...之中”,这句话为将状语提前的倒装句,把状语放到后面应为：Tea is drunk by the largest number of the people in the world of the three major drinks--- tea,coffee and cocoa.如果去掉of,则句子不完整.
