请问in an attempt todo还是in order to do？

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

从词义上讲，in an attempt to表示“力图、试图去作”，in order to表示“为了实现目的而作”，

They closed the road___reduce traffic in the city
A.in attempt to B.in an attempt to C.in order to D .in order of
这题不选A，而选择B和C都可，因为in order to do和to do 的意味一样可以放在句子中但多方在句首作目的状语，比如In order to catch the bus to the Great Wall, we get up early.也可以写成We get up early in order to catch the bus to the Great Wall.都表示目的。个人认为如果选B意思是为了他们关闭了公路企图缩减城市的交通量。如果选C意思是为了缩减城市的交通量他们关闭了公路。个人认为从语法的角度来看这两个都行。然后一般情况下In order to 不和 In an attempt to在语法上 比较，而和so as to 比较。这道题应该这样出，
They closed the road in a(n) __________ to reduce traffic in the city.
A. response
B. meaning
C. intention
D. attempt
