BECAUSE 优于IN THAT

steve66

勉强可以认为是and also有问题；

Gmat可能比较prefer分词(OG和pre中只有aware of和excited about两处‘形容词无动词分句’，都是修饰主语的)；

because和in that在没有其他错误的时候because能稍稍好些；

谢谢楼上两位，看来这题只有用最优选项来解释了。

我选了A,也注意到了时态是过去式，可能不对，但记得是can 优于be able to 的，所以还是选了A.

哪位给说说，A和C的差别！

A錯因為both要求絶對平衡
both its size and on climate and altitude

thanks!

可为什么XDF老是总结的时候说的是in that>because呢？于是我当机立断选了B。

我认为可能插入语dependent或者depending的形式有关
