66. The 32 species that make up the dlphine  family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.

A.  include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is

B. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and

C.  include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being

D.  includes the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is

E.  includes the animal  known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

这道正确答案是A, 虽然我知道D选项里includes错得很离谱，可是不是很懂为什么D的as big as 30 feet long不行或者说就没有A的grow to be 好？OG 里解释是：  as big as is an idiomatically incorrect expression of the comparison.  这句话意思是在gmat里凡是碰到有比较的话都不能用as big as 这种吗？那 Tom is as tall as Jason这种类型的句子也是错的? 不是很理解这题，希望各位多多赐教！～

我记得这道题其实关键词是grow，grow当作生长意思时是不及物动词，一般用grow to be....
而且as big as 30 feet long本身就有问题吧，翻译出来是“大到30英尺长”，这么别扭，相当于as big as long，前后就不一致啊，哪怕说as long as 30 feet呢，都比这好吧

as big as sth 和long 两者redundant
举个例子 he is tall as his father (正确)
he is tall as the height of his father （重复）
