Question

英语选择,要原因
"Not until science became prominent___be abolished",some people argue.
a.did slavery come to
b.that slavery came to

Answer 1

a
这是一种强调或突出事件发生时间的说法,原来的正常说法应该是：
Slavery did not come to be abolished until sciencebecame prominent.
由于后面的是 argue,而argue的重点就是时间,因为奴隶制被废除是无可争议的,人们争论的关键是奴隶制什么时候被废除的.所采用了这样句子结构,用以突出争论的要点.
如果要用b,则要改成:
It was not until science became prominent that slavery come to be abolished.
