Ans:B
請教D為何不妥

第一個
用should不對,因為用should是萬一的意思
可是這邊應該是要"跟現在事實相反"

第二個
the rate of weeks實在不太對
不能說是week的rate啊~~~

感謝小馬前輩鼎力相助，想通啦。

請問B為什麼對阿? 以及c為什麼錯?
the rate at which it grows between the .........
which子句是名詞子句嗎
那為什麼是用the rate at 而不是the rate of呢?

不是喔!!!!

慣用語:at the rate~~~~

所以which指rate，it指fetus

感謝Lory的回覆
看來我的 介係詞 加關代的句型真的是不太行...
那原句是 it grows between the fourth and eighth weeks at the rate 嗎?
然後把rate 提前 當關代 介係詞也跟著rate提前
請問是這樣的嗎??

[kaijen]

想順便請教一個問題
the fourth and eighth weeks為什麼要加s
不是the fourth (week) and eighth week 的省略嗎??
還是是因為between的關係??
總覺得在A和B之間 A, B可用單數表達就可以了??
謝謝
