The end of the eighteenth century saw the emergence of prize-stock breeding, with individual bulls and cows receiving awards, fetching unprecedented prices, and excited enormous interest whenever they were put on show. (A) excited (B) it excited (C) exciting (D) would excite (E) it had excited
saw在这边是见证的意思。 也就是说18世纪末见证了emergence of prize-stock breeding
附上longman解释,see 第24条
24time/place [transitive] if a time or place has seen a particular event or situation, it happened or existed in that time or place: This year has seen a big increase in road accidents. The city has seen plenty of violence over the years.
这题目,后面的with结构是独立主格结构,with individual bulls and cows receiving awards, fetching unprecedented prices, and excited enormous interest whenever they were put on show. 应该用exciting来平行,而不是excited。这是我的理解,希望牛牛来解答。
