84. 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(be动词前后要求并列). Further, when in C and D is less precise than as in characterizing a prolonged and gradual process such as aging(体会其中意思的细微差异). B is the best answer.

问题1：OG解释上面红色部分不太明白

       2：B选项中age是什么意思， their指代什么

      3：谁能帮忙把这句话翻译一下，

谢谢。

1.红色字体的意思是when在描述一个逐渐的循序渐进的长期过程时没有as简洁。

2.age的意思是逐渐年老的意思吧,their指代people，这里只有这个是复数名词呀。

3.你说的是哪句话？题目这句么？

MA（当它是个公司吧）近期的一场旨在吸引50岁以上消费者的商业活动的legacy（遗产，引申为有流传价值的意义吧），就是使人认识到了随着年龄的增长，人们所关注的事情也随之发生改变。

age是动词，年纪增大的意思。

their，他们的，就是as people age里的people.
