before laying "their" eggs. not her eggs. coz the first part of sentence is female sea "turtles"作者: liul781 时间: 2003-10-22 14:28

As for B, the phrase-- "as much as"-- describes distance, which is an uncountible noun.作者: lion17 时间: 2003-10-23 05:35
但是kilometers 是复数形式？作者: nanozhang 时间: 2003-10-23 07:39
just like "as much as 500 dollars", here "dollars" refers to money; similarly, "kilometers" refers to "distance".
