单项选择题
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than () the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.
A. to study
B. studying
C. study
D. by studying
答案
参考答案：D
解析：
by doing sth. 是方式状语，句中...no better way than by (the way of)studying...，因介词by本身具有“通过……方式(手段)”含义，所以用by studying...。全句意为：“通过研究莎士比亚如何使用英语，也许是外国人欣赏英语的丰富性和多样性的最好办法。”
