Question

it was ()we had hoped A more a success than B a success more than

Cas much of success as D a success as much as
都选什么，每个选项给解释下
能否给详细解释下 这个题 选择的答案为C

Answer 1

It was _____ we had hoped.
A. more a success than B. a success more than
C. as much of a success as D. a success as much as

A为什么错："It is more a success than a failure" 是对的，解释为“与其说。。不如说。。。”但是这里不适用。
B为什么错："It is more than we had hoped for" 在口语中常用，解释为“结果比预料中的好”，it 往往指代"The result"，但是不规范。书面语的用法是The result is better than we had hoped for. 在这个语境下应该写The success is bigger than we had hoped for.
D为什么错：同上，应该是a success as big as we had hoped for.
C为什么对："He is more of a poet than his father."是对的，解释为“他比他的爸爸更像一个诗人‘，这里的of解释为像！或者算得上，用much来修饰 。

所以选C

正解~~~~~~~~~

Answer 2

it was ()we had hoped
A more a success than B a success more than
Cas much of success as D a success as much as

选B。
可以通过比较级比较和同级比较的不同使用搭配确定答案。
A/B都是比较级比较，X 【形容词比较级+than】Y，
其中形容词比较级后面必须紧跟than，即排除A，B作为备选。

C/D是同级比较，用法是 X 【 as +形容词+ as 】Y，其中X、Y必须是同样词性或者结构，
如Tom is as tall as Jim. Tom和Jim一样高，TOM/JIM都是名词
Tom runs as fast as Jim (does) 他俩跑得一样快。
C错误是因为把 as...as结构拆散了，不可；
D则是因为as much as 后面应该跟一个与it性质类似的结构，即名词性成分，可用名词、代词、名词性短语等。但是D选项跟的是句子，则错，应为as much as 『what』 we had hoped.
