想請教，這幾個increase的詞性，都是名詞嗎？
還有，怎麼選正確答案呢？
我選了個D...

兩個increase都是名詞喔

選D或E的話,主要子句就找不到動辭囉
先刪掉囉

A-->which變成只year-->X
B-->were what 太冗

參考一下囉
其實我記得那時候在做題的時候
覺得很多長句, 錯誤選項都是主要子句找不到動辭耶
看找不到動辭,我就不用擔心其他小錯誤我沒挑到了!!
就可以刪掉那個選項囉

整理一下 抄個筆記...

(A) which不應該指到year...應該是錢
(B) were what...not concise
(D) no V
(E) no V

當初在做這題時，也是有想到動辭問題...
不過因為在做的當下，increase讓我很confused...

感謝 大大 的解說
