[問題]考古題Form19-Q15

When scrap steel is recycled, energy is saved in the mining, transportation, and processing of not only iron ore but also of coal and limestone.

(B) processing not only of iron ore but also of coal and limestone
(C) processing not only of iron ore but also coal and limestone
(D) the processing of not only iron ore but of coal and limestone as well
(E) the processing of not iron ore only but of coal and limestone as well

答案(B)

想請問各位先進~ 選答案(B)會不會不平衡呢? mining, transportation都是名詞, and 後面不是應該來個process或是動名詞形式的the processing of嘛? 直接用processing not only of... 會不會怪了點呢? 盼前輩指引~~ 感謝~~

processing當不可數名詞用
所以沒錯 有平衡~
且前不加冠詞

這樣ㄚ~~ 非常謝謝您~ 那一句的讓我感覺processing似乎當動詞用... 我會在思考思考~~ 感謝您喔~

[A級垂耳兔]

processing加不加冠詞應該是沒差吧?
這句平衡三個...processing意思為加工...為了平衡故使用有動詞含意的動名詞...
