请教新东方语法教程练习7的两道题

william_T

38. A number of the Pacific Islands are volcanoes that have pushed up from the ocean floor；others are the tops sunken mountain ranges.

答案是C。是不是应该在tops后加上of啊？可是我觉得B也有问题啊，难道push不应该用被动形式吗？

39. It has been reported that during any twenty-four hour period, a minimal of three hundred North American women start their own bussinesses.

答案是C。应该怎么改呢？D中谓语start与从句主语在数上也未能达成主谓一致，这又该如何改呢？

请大家赐教，谢谢。

第2题应该改为 a minimum of。minimal 是形容词。

关于第1题，我的改法是把TOPS改成TOP。主动形式是正确的。若是被动应该用by the ocean floor

仅供参考！

Thank you!

更正，BOBO上有第1道题目的解释：是把TOPS改成TOPS OF
