请看下面这道题：

_________ doesn’t seem to have been much difficulty in solving the problem.

A. It                        B. That                        C. There                        D. He

许多同学一看选项便想当然地认为，这是考查形式主语 it 的用法，所以便毫不犹豫地 选了 A 。同学们仔细想想看，假若此题选形式主语 it ，那么真正的主语在哪儿呢？没有。其实，此题应选 C ，属 there be 句型一种比较 复杂的表现形式，请看下面几个句子，它们均属 there be 句型，但结构一个比一个复杂：

There is much difficulty in solving the problem.

There seems to be much difficulty in solving the problem.

There seems to have been much difficulty in solving the problem.

There doesn’t seem to have been much difficulty in solving the problem.
