词典解答
出题者只注意了一种句型: think + 宾语 + 宾语补足语(A), 而忽略了另一种句型 think + that 宾语从句(B)。选项 D 属于句型 A(it 为形式宾语), 选项 B 属于句型 B:
A. 1. Do you think it necessary? 你认为这是必要的吗？
- I think it best that you should stay here. 我认为你最好是住在这里。
B. 1. I think it's going to rain. (OELD) 我看要下雨了。
- He thinks (that) the world is flat. (CLD) 他认为地球是平的。
