即修辭考古題P77 #7
我想問(C)錯在哪?
謝謝各位!

Rather than continue to produce most of the items necessary for subsistence, a growing number of farm families during the first decades of the nineteenth century began to specialize in the production of grain or cotton and to use the cash proceeds from selling their crops for buying necessities.

(A) selling their crops for buying

(B) the sales of their crops for buying

(C) their selling of crops so as to buy

(D) their selling crops for buying of

(E) the sale of their crops to buy

我的解法是這樣的, 請指教

1. 由 from....to....下手, 砍掉 A, B and D

2. 去掉 C 因為

(1) C用 so as to, 為表目的的用法, 但根據句意並不是表目的 (因 from...to...), 所以我也把它去掉
(2) their 的位置擺錯了, 有改變句意的嫌疑
(3) N of N, sell 的名詞是 sale

由此得出答案 E

如果依candy的作法，E若是可以，B應該也不賴吧
這兩個選項大概只差在sales的單複數　以及to V 還是for Ving 的用法要優先考慮誰
想再請教candy的看法

[QQcandy]

因為我的判斷主要是由 "from...to" 的句型來的, 同時也是因為句意, 所以此點是 key point. 但若要說 sale 及 sales 的不同, 我覺的差異很細微....sale 可以是銷售 (sell 的名詞) 而 sales 是銷售量, 強調一個總量, 這由原句(A) 很難判斷ㄛ

In my opinion
1. from+O to +O=>"buy" is verb, I think we can't use this idiom.
2.for=>express reason
to =>express purpose
so cancel A,B,D
3.Why C wrong?I want to let u know what's different between sales and selling.
sales:income (at invoice values) received for goods and services over some given period of time

selling: the exchange of goods for an agreed sum of money

講到so as to 我自己做題經驗是so as to 非必要時不選，記得OG只有一題（OG88）題要選，其餘都是so that 或是其他的選項，小技巧供大家參考
