37。The Louisiana Purchase of
1803 increased
the territory of the United States by approximate 846,000 square miles, practically doubling the area of the United States.



答案：B  approximate  改为：approximately

请问为什么形容词 approximate修饰846,000 square miles不对？

答案：B. approximate: approximately

approximately只是修饰数字的精确度，不修饰square miles，by the way,i never come across a sentence with "approximate"...

这个是常考的一个地方， 数字加名词前用副词approximately。 这个approximately和后面的名词短语主要是用来修饰前面的动词。所以approximate就不对的。 修饰动词用副词。不知道这样理解是否对的。
