Q15:
The population of India has been steadily increasing for decades, and it will probably
have what is estimated as 1.6 billion people by 2050 and surpass China as the world’s
most populous nation.
A. it will probably have what is estimated as
B. they are likely to have
C. the country will probably have
D. there will probably be
E. there will be an estimated

这题怎么选C呢，the country have这种表达不是必错的么，我选的是C，求教各位，谢谢

"surpass China"只能国家和国家比

chenjm

哦，对，谢谢，但是国家have这种说法向来不对的好像。。。

xingyech

规则应该不是绝对的吧，而且从这道题目看来那一个选项也没有c来的好。

Agree with what xingyech said, however,
The population of India has been steadily increasing for decades, and it will probably
have what is estimated as 1.6 billion people by 2050 and surpass China as the world’s most populous nation.

C. the country will probably have

wouldn't C change the original meaning by deleting 'is estimated'?

you may argue 'probably' may include 'estimation', but i thought they are not duplicated.

Furthermore, if A is chosen, 'it' in A could represent 'india' which will be parallel with china as well?

NN, thanks a lot!

A. it will probably have what is estimated as
it 指代不明，是The population of India 还是India？

虽然改写文中原词不好，不过what is estimated as也太clumsy了，删的不冤。而且，语法中还是先看硬伤比较好。
