prep209. (T-3-Q7)
In Scotland, the number of wild salmon have been reduced because of uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting, by pollution, and by various other threats to the fish’s habitat.
A. number of wild salmon have been reduced because of uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting,
B. number of wild salmon is reduced because deep-sea and coastal netting is not controlled,
C. numbers of wild salmon has been reduced because of uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting,
D. wild salmon’s numbers are reduced by deep-sea and coastal netting that is not controlled,
E. wild salmon’s numbers have been reduced by uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting,
只有一个问题求解：
manhattan里头说有时候会把带of的介词短语通过修饰词提前，转换为形容词短语。但是of是带有数量，时间，计量性质的固定搭配就能改了一定要用of结构么？这里为什么会把the number of改成wild salmon's numbers呢？如果没有红字划线的地方不给提示的话我肯定就选错了。
那么如果把A改成：
A. number of wild salmon has been reduced by uncontrolled deep-sea and coastal netting, 这样对么？
多谢啊
