关于GWD-1-Q8一题讲解的疑问～～

（1）     GWD-1-Q8:

The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods. 

1. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is

2. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and

3. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being

4. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is

5. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

grow as big as 30 feet long不合逻辑而且罗嗦．Ａ更简洁．grow to be 和grow to 都对．  

A is the best, grow to be 30 feet long

B、C，growing修饰对象与主语不一致

D，grow as big as 30 feet long不合用法（？）

一是及物动词：主要含义是：使生长；培养；使（东西）依自然进程而发展或增加：
二是不及物动词：生长，成长：自然进程中体积的增加
由此可见，作及物动词主要是指“培养”，而不及物动词主要指“生长”。所以，在本句中，明显是不及物动词“生长”。由此排除grow是系动词的可能性。因此，grow as big as..中，不能用big这个形容词来修饰grow，所以D错.

作者在上面提到的grow as big as 30 feet long不合用法的原因，本小菜鸟表示质疑，下面给出理由，请大家扔砖：

本人查到longman原版字典中给出的如下解释

    grow的用法：

关于grow as
       的用法
      ▶IMPROVE◀

[intransitive] to gradually become better, bigger etc

She's grown tremendously as a musician.

关于grow to的用法
      ▶INCREASE◀

[intransitive]to increase in amount, size, number, or strength

所以本人解题思路为：

    grow的用法：根据逻辑的表示，此题应该是说体积上的增长，应该是增长，而不是改进的概念，所以用grow as是错误的，排除B,D

    B,C中growing修饰的对象与主语不一致，排除B,C

    E中，省略it

讲的好 我为这AS big as 纠结很久了

为什么都注意grow as big as中的as 呢？显然，应该注意big是否可以修饰grow啊？

原题中D和E中的include后有+S是includes所以不正确。
