The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
(A) enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce (B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce (C) enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce (D) enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing (E) enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce 答案选C,但是看不出B的错误~~PREP写的是Both……and……用法错~~但是B里没有看到both啊~~求~~
从2008语法笔记里找到的,很有道理: The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year. 这个句子里depending不能改为dependent,因为depending和dependent的区别在于,前者伴随修饰谓语动词is able to produce,后者则是修饰名词single tree,会造成逻辑上不对 —— “一棵树依靠它的size”。
