OG10-125

[pimi]

The winds that howl across the Great Plains not only blow away valuable topsoil, thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land, and also damage or destroy young plants.
(A)and also damage or destroy
(B)as well as damaging or destroying
(C)but they also cause damage or destroy
(D)but also damage or destroy
(E)but also causing damage or destroying

Ans:D

我知道用not only but also來選出D
不過OG裡解釋CE不太了解, 請大大解釋～(如下)
In C and E, damage is used not as a verb with young plants as its direct object but as a noun receiving the action of cause; consequently, these choices fail to state explicitly that the damage is done to young plants.

我想我大概知道CE解釋的意思了, 簡而言之, 原句動詞damage變名詞damage就是會改變句意, 所以CE錯

另外我想請問大大＂Great Plains＂怎麼翻譯呢？？

Great Plains
就是"大平原"吧~
地理課本說的洛磯山脈跟阿帕契山脈之間的平原地帶
春夏交際時易產生龍捲風...
