Since 1981, when the farm depression began, the number of acres overseen by professional farm-management companies have grown from 48 to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado's size.

(A) have grown from 48 to nearly 59 million, an area that is about Colorado's size

(B) have grown from 48 to nearly 59 million, about the size of Colorado

(C) has grown from 48 to nearly 59 million, an area about the size of Colorado

(D) has grown from 48 up to nearly 59 million, an area about the size of Colorado's

(E) has grown from 48 up to nearly 59 million, about Colorado's size



the best answer is C

我想問的是，如果answer(E)改成

has grown from 48 to nearly 59 million about Colorado's size

是否就比answer(C)好呢?還是整句應該改成這樣

Since 1981, when the farm depression began, the number of acres about Colorado's size overseen by professional farm-management companies has grown from 48 to nearly 59 million

又，因為我做CR很多時候都是憑直覺，所以都不了解道理，想請問：
Colorado's size 這種寫法比較好，還是 the size of Colorado 這種寫法比較好?

拉雜問了一堆，先謝謝看到這裡的各位了

猶記得莫盃盃說過.........
' 有生命的就用所有格方式表達 例如mary's book
沒生命的就用中華民國結構 如本題 '
可參考一下

另外 如果將句子改為您所說的次序
句意上會變為 48million= Colorado's size
可是原句指 59million=Colorado's size

如有錯誤或需要補充 請其他的sc高手 幫忙一下

又是這位大俠相助，感激不盡~

可是我以為Colorado's size是用來修飾acres的
因為ETS的解釋是這樣：

an area about the size of Colorado clearly describes a rough equivalence between the area of Colorado and the area overseen by the companies

所以我才想他應該可以往前移去修飾acres，或是去掉逗點修飾整句

[Behemoth]

an area放在逗點後當同位語修飾前面的acres

og中有挺多同位語的題目例如122,可以參考看看

e改成你那樣會有不知道修飾誰的問題喔

原來是同位語啊，看來我有點錯亂了
講到同位語我就突然清醒了，謝謝
