According to the theory of deterrence, the more severe the punishment, __________.

题目选项

A. the less likely crime is
B. the less likely the crime
C. the crime less likely
D. the crime is less likely

正确答案

B

题目解析

原句用了the more…the more的句型。这种句型的特点是前后都可以有所省略。只要意义明确,越简练越好。例如: The more, the better.(多多益善。) The sooner, the better. (越早越好。)原句的意思是“根据威慑理论,惩罚越严厉,犯罪的可能性就越小”。因此我们选择B. the less likely the crime。
