4. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, *a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time*.

(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time

(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.

My question is as following :
Choice (C) "too near to......" is 應該改成 "too close to......" or both of these two are rught?

再頂一下15題
還是不懂(C) A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars
為什麼is 後面是waves呢? 是因為後面的vendors and beggars關係嗎?

[dibert8]

A new phenomenon {visible at Managua’s major intersections} is waves {of vendors and beggars}

動詞只跟主詞一致. 主詞是 A new phenomenon 所以動詞用單數. waves {of vendors and beggars} 是主詞補語,跟動詞的數量無關.

waves 用多數,表示多於一個 wave (i.e. many waves), 不是 vendors and beggars 的關係.
