新概念的问题

新概念英语3册35课练习中The staff must have found it impossible ____to say"it serves him right". A.they were not to be tempted B.for them not to be tempted C.to be tempted D.not to be tempted中为何不选B?（答案是D）

Answer 1

还原语序：The staff must have found that not to be tempted to say 'it serves him right' is impossible. 还原后，你就看出不用 for them 了。

Answer 2

have found it +形容词+not to be
