40. To meet the rising marketing demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.

A. their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment

B. their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut

C. growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment

D. they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment

E. they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut

 

A: as fast as 要和前面对称，rate不和前面对称

B: 同上；their feed … and raising 不对称

C: growing them naturally和前面不对称

D: correct

E: with … and raising 不对称

如果选D的话，那么they 应该理解为suppliers 还是fish? 如果是suppliers，那么后面的their就会页指代supplier,这样和句意不符，they指代fish,是说A(suppliers) do B(grow fish) as fast as C(fish) do D(grow)?
