[讨论]白勇语法 - 一道有关同位语的题目

白勇语法PDF版，第十章第30题

For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.

(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,
(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,
(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788,
(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,

正确答案E

对D选项是这样解释的：同位结构在逻辑上一定要对其修饰对象具有解释力。语法上，a period beginning in 1788只能作为a hundred years的同位语，但逻辑上，a period（时期）不能解释a hundred years（数量），所以错。

实在不明白，100年就是一个时期呀。

或者这样问好了，请牛牛们就这道题给a hundred years一个你认为正确的同位语。
