急,高中英语单选题
The problem of poverty in that country is not______so easy as you think .It is far from being settled.
Ahardly Balmost Cnearly Dscarely
选c,
请分别说abd为什么不对,带入翻译或用语法分别解释一下

答案

主要是考察 not nearly as...as 或者 not nearly so ...as 习语特殊含义 "远不及,远非"
通过句意可知“那个国家的财产问题不像你想得那么简单”,而A选项hardly和D选项scarely都有“否定”的意味,可以首先排除掉.
almost 通常情况下要否定后置,如：
- Do you know her?
- Almost not.I met her last week.
