better known與most known

有這樣一道題:

Professor White has written some short stories, but he is _____ known for his plays.

A. the best B. more

C. better D. the most

【陷阱】容易誤選D。

【分析】此題首先不宜選B或D，因為 well known 的比較級和最高級通常是 better known和best known，有時也可以是 more well known 和 most well known，但通常不能是 more known 和 most known。至于是選A還是C，這就要看語境。由于句中涉及的只有 stories 和 plays 兩個對象，故應(yīng)選比較級。
