10. The Coast Guard recently redesigned channel markers in the Chesapeake Bay to accommodate large numbers of ospreys, whose huge nests formerly obstructed the lights.
(A) numbers of ospreys, whose huge nests
(B) numbers of ospreys, their huge nests
(C) amounts of ospreys, the huge nests of which
(D) nests of ospreys they
(E) numbers of ospreys, and their huge nests

答案A。

如果把E中的their 改为his or her.从语法角度讲，是否修改后的E也对，甚至比A更好，因为A中的whose有指代离它最近的ospreys之嫌？

谢谢。

WHOSE就是修饰ospreys的。

GOD,我几次这题都错---老是把nest理解成net(看过介绍拖网等对鱼类和龟类影响的背景文章，看样子先入为主了)。

真该改改自己的粗心毛病。

本题为什么不能选c?

amounts of 和numbers of 有什么主要区别?

the huge nest of which 这种说法有什么问题吗?

请nn答复!

amounts 是修饰不可数名词的。

但是可以用whose 修饰ospreys吗？whose 不是只能修饰人物的吗？不懂

同感，顶一下！

whose是只能修饰人, 还是可以修饰both 人 and 动物，甚至是无生命之物??

今天做了这个题目，感觉whose不能修饰动物啊~~~

请NN指教~~~
