Question

inportant和importantly的区别
When i was an editor, i always preferred to apologise promptly _______ the merits of the case, rather than face the expense and _________, the time consuming complexities and debilitating worry of litigation, libel being one of the least satisfactory branches of the law.
A. whch ever, more important
B.whatever , more important
C.whichever, more important
D. wahtever, more importantly
这里答案是选择D, 不明白前面那个空是什么含义,后面的空为什么不是选择important,因为后面接的都是名词.

Answer 1

翻译：我还是编辑的时候,无论情况如何,我总是选择立马道歉,而不是去面对诉讼过程中所发生的费用,更为重要的是,去面对费时耗神的诉讼过程中产生的复杂情况.诽谤法是法律当中最不尽人意的部分.
whatever the merits of the case.= no matter what the merits of the case is.无论情况如何
more importantly更为重要的是,修饰后面的句子,所以用副词形式,而不是形容词important
