Even though sub-Saharan Africa often evokes images of drought and famine, researchers say that the area is the home of more than 2,000 grains, vegetables, roots, fruits, and other foods that have the possibility for feeding the continent, even other parts of the world.

 

(A) have the possibility for feeding the continent, even

(B) have the possibility of feeding the continent, even of

(C) could feed the continent, so even with

(D) could feed the continent and even

(E) could possibly feed the continent and, in addition, for even

答案是D

A的错误是不是have the possibility for doing sth 不如 could 简洁？

除了LZ说的问题，黄亮部分也不清楚。the continent和other parts of the world应该是并列关系（加上even有递进的意思），用and连接最清楚了。

A，既没有连词又不是独立结构，不能用逗号。

感觉介词“for”也有点问题，不过说不准。

I think eliding and in Choice A is acceptable coz even means and more.

The fault of this choice is using a wrong phrase: have the possibility FOR doing.

The correct one is have the possibility OF doing.

楼上gg，我一直想问even用法，

语法笔记中一直强调even是副词,不能作连词不能跟句子

这句话我能理解，但是这里even没有跟句子啊

像这种“，even”的结构到底对不对？

even的结构是对的，feed the continent and even (feed) other parts of the world

后面feed被省略了

其次that后面是修饰home的，不能用have，要改成has

这个的对与错看在什么考试里面了，GMAT里面最好用连词连接，和Then一样，但是通用考试里面这个用法是对的。
