One legacy of Madison Avenue's recent campaign to appeal to people fifty years old and over is the realization that as a person ages. their concerns change as well.

(A)  the realization that as a person ages, their

(B)   the realization that as people age, their

(C)  to realize that when a person ages, his or her

(D)  to realize that when people age, their

(E)   realizing that as people age, their

In choice A, the plural pronoun their does not agree in number with the singular noun person. Choices C, D, and E can be faulted for failing to complete the construction One legacy ... is with a noun that matches the noun legacy; these choices use verb forms--the infinitive to realize or the present participle realizing--in place of a noun such as realization. Further, when in C and D is less precise than as in characterizing a prolonged and gradual process such as aging. B is the best answer.  請問為什麼as比when好?有人說說嗎?

呵呵，这2个词在用法上有细微的差别。
when：“当......什么（特定的）时候”，往往是指在时间上的一个点（如：I'm replying the questions in CD forum when you raise this question）、或者是一段很短的时间（如：I hope to go to United States when I was 20 years old）。
as：“随着......（时间）的流逝”，往往是指比较漫长的一段时间。对于这题来说，“变老”无疑是一个相对漫长的过程，用as people age最合适不过了－－“随着人们（慢慢）变老，他们所关心的东东也（慢慢）改变了，或者说转移了。”

另外，顺便说一下，楼主的题目取得可够狠的。。。不过，还有更狠的，来个“雪地跪求”怎么样？
