Because Halley's comet changes orbit slightly during the seventy-six-year interval between passing close to Earth, it may veer on to a collision course with a planet sometime in the future.

(A) between passing
(B) of passing
(C) between its passes
(D) of its passes
(E) as it passes

答案是(C) 可是pass不是動詞嗎?

想問一下，是不是因為，這題的Halley's comet已經是專有名詞，所以between its passes的its不會指代到Halley這個人而是指代Halley's comet這個star？
