6. The main reasons for the phenomenal growth of agribusiness over the last fifteen years are
because of elevated land prices, the basing of retail marketing networks on produce imported from other states, and decreased competition from developers.
(A) because of elevated land prices, the basing of retail marketing networks
(B) a result of elevated land prices, retail marketing networks based
(C) that land prices are elevated, retail marketing networks are based
(D) elevated land prices, retail marketing networks based
(E) because land prices are elevated, the basing of retail marketing networks
我的想法是~
Choice B 裡,
elevated land prices ( N1) ,retail marketing networks based
on produce imported from other states (N2), and decreased competition from developers. (N3).
語法上有平行.... 這裡的elevated 是當adj用
這3個 noun phrases 是用來修飾 the main reasons 的~
Choice D.
are elevated land prices ( verb, 被動 ),retail marketing networks based on produce imported from other states (N1), and decreased competition from developers. (N2).
一來既不平行, 且
1) 這裡的 are elevated 是指main reasons, 不是 land prices.......
2) are elevated 是被動語態,後面若要接Objective 也該加個介詞,
此外,are elevated land prices 句意上也怪異~
以上請參考用~
