Question

能帮我看看这个英语句子的成分 分析一下吗 谢谢

When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I
anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects.
这个句子，主要是“ in that most tedious of subjects.”主要是这里不懂，为什么要用in呢?还有就是tedious是用来修饰subject的吗？如果是的话为什么还要用of？
我想知道后半句的宾语是什么？
麻烦大家了。。。。谢谢

Answer 1

in 指在...方面
that most tedious of subjects. 中间省略了一些重复的词,完整的应该是 that most tedious (subject) of (all the) subjects.

去掉of，后面就要改了， in that most tedious subject
