D. indicating that a child’s acquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills is
E. indicative of a child’s acquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills as
Answer: D

請問一下D.的Be動詞為何是用is而不用are呢 還有A.錯在哪邊阿 謝謝

(a)的問題在於
1. findings that "indicates" <-- 複數~動詞不加s
2. 動名詞如果有名詞形，用名詞較佳 (acquisition> acquiring)
3. 句意不妥 indicates ____sth_____ as ==> 指出(表明)sth 為 an active process .... ( 用 "_____sth____" is 的 表示簡潔達意)

(d)中的is
"a child’s acquisition" of.........為單數，所以用is

附註：
