请问Ｅ错在那里呢？我当时选Ｅ是因为Ｅ出现新名词the country’s size ，我觉得比Ｃ中的its来的好，its可以指Louisiana也可以指Ｕ．Ｓ

还请ＸＤＪＭ们帮忙，语法实在太差了．

看错了，原来是Louisiana Purchase, its 应该只能指US,但是还是不知道E错那里.

to格瑞特艾力:

e错在it的指代不统一。US bought it for中的it指的是louisiana，而后面未划线的its westetn border指的是US，所以，根据未划线部分的its可知道，it只能指代us,E错。

C: With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing

画线部分做修饰买地这件事  而且是并列

我认为E的错误在于改变了原句的意思：

原句意思，从对Louisiana 的购买中得到了828,000 square miles的土地。

而E表达的意思应该是购买了Louisiana 的土地中的828,000 square miles

C中的828,000 square miles和 doubling那部分 似乎离得太远了吧 ，我觉得C不是很好

Q8:

In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

 

1. In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought错.(which and that不能并列)
2. For about four cents an acre the United States acquired, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size and it brought (more than doubling指前面整句对后面的影响.是购买这件事似的国家的大小double了,所以and后面也应用bringing,it不能指代整个前半句)错
3. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing对(with表伴随,伴随着1803年的购买.)
4. The United States, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre, acquired 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size, bringing(1两个分词并列的话中间应该用and,否则bringing有歧异,2主谓语中放了两个介词断语,dangling modifier)错
5. Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country’s size and bringing (1,purchase＆bought语义重复.应用acquire,2而且acquire由原句的谓语动词变为分词修饰,改变句子中心)

   Answer: 我选c,理由如上
