Seldom more that 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected the Hudson River at Albany to the Great Lakes at Buffalo, providing the port of New York City with a direct water link to the heartland of the North American continent.

A.    Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected
B.    Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected
C.    It was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, but the Erie Canal, connecting
D.    The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected
E.    The Erie Canal, seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, connecting
答案B
A跟B比较，有哪里不对呢？B中more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep ，为什么中间用or连接呢？这两个概念又不是选择啊，宽就是宽，深就是深，不是吗？干嘛用or？望牛人解答，感谢。。。

Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York
关于这个but有个问题，but不是引导平行吗？but前面的短语和running能平行吗？

这里or也不可，描述两个不同方面当然要用and

比如说某人勤劳勇敢，不能说他勤劳或勇敢。

感觉or比and好啊，EC很少有超过40feet宽或者超过12feet深的地方。OG给出的正确答案b也用的是or。
但是对于d选项，OG说：the paired concepts of width and depth should be joined by "and", not "or".
真是风中凌乱了。

a的问题主要在于it
这里or也不可，描述两个不同方面当然要用and

比如说某人勤劳勇敢，不能说他勤劳或勇敢。

我觉得用or的意思是有的地方40feet宽，有的地方12feet深，但改成and会有歧义是同时40 feet wide and 12 feet deep 。
