In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country's size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

(A) In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country's size and that brought

(B) For about four cents an acre the United States acquired, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country's size and it brought

(C) With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing

(D) The United States, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre, acquired 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country's size, bringing

(E) Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country's size and bringing

答案说D选项“, bringing

对阿, D的bringing是歧义, 可以修饰其紧跟的size, 也可以作状语修饰 acquire

这里从逻辑意思角度明显是acquire有两个结果: double和bring, 所以将这两个分词用and连接

楼主看下prep1-4，写的很好，多个修饰成分修饰主语常用方法：分词结构+主语+修饰1+修饰2+谓语……而且做og发现有一条规律是，修饰语最好紧跟被修饰词，这样子的选项最不容易引起歧义。你看d中bringing和The United States隔了千山万水的，十有八九有问题

dingxiang 已经讲出重点了

ing短语放在最后前面还有逗号会做定语修饰插入语里的东西吗？

我认为不尽然...

我看倒是有可能跳跃插入语作定语修饰828,000 square miles。

或者说两个相同功能的状语之间是应该加and的。
