When a ton of wheat was being moved from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100, but when the canal was used, it took less than eight days and cost less than $6.

A.When a ton of wheat was being moved from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100, but when the canal was used, it
B.Moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100; using the canal, it
C.Before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City took three weeks and cost $100; on the canal the move
D.In 1825, before opening the Erie Canal, to move a ton of wheat took three weeks from Buffalo to New York City, which cost $100; moving it on the canal
E.To move a ton of wheat in 1825 from Buffalo to New York City took three weeks before the opening of the Erie Canal, costing $100, but in using the canal, the move

參考答案為C,我對C沒有什麼疑問,但我想問的是B為什麼不對,是因為虛主詞IT不能做moving~~的主詞嗎?
謝謝幫忙~~~

我覺得應該是這樣沒錯，除非it 有合理的指代


open to discuss

Moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City before the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, it took three weeks and cost $100; using the canal, it
那就是說it為分詞之主詞,it是什,後面沒有東西可代,應是像c一樣某個東西took 時間and cost錢

A: being少選，it 指代有問題
B: it 指代有問題，脫節
D: which 指代有問題
E: 脫節

(A)除了被動 我不懂有任何錯誤耶??
而且我覺得還蠻平衡的..

[hey]

絕不可能是選項(A),因為it代原題主詞,在此句其主詞為a ton of wheat,因此句子的意思會變成a ton of wheat took 3 weeks,其意思根本不通,所以(A)選項是不可能選的

[dibert8]

(A) 不能選, 因為 when 子句裡不能有進行式(句意的關係). when (表示條件)的句意在這裡其實也不合理.
e.g. when the canal was used, ... 那不用的時候就不是如此囉?

不好意思，E還是沒有看出來哪里有問題欸﹗麻煩大大們幫忙，謝謝了﹗

[whoisallan]

我覺得(E)有3個地方不太好
1.運河開通的時間 in 1825 or To move a ton of wheat in 1825? 依句意應該是前者2. to move or canal cost $ 100?
3. in using the canal, 是否也該考慮脫節? the move in using嗎?

第3點大家討論一下, 介係詞片語有脫節問題嗎?

以上
