请教OG第220题

excellent

220. For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.
(A)For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,
(B)Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,
(C)Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788
(D)During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
(E)Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,

请问选项D为什么不对？a period为什么不能做During a hundred years的同位语？

另外，During a hundred years做时间状语，谓语动词用什么时态？

谢谢！

dreadpower

我觉得D中的a period beginning in 1788,在修饰a hundred years，但是a hundred years明显不能是a period

excellent

我实在笨拙的很，为什么一百年不可以是一个时期呀？

dreadpower

我觉得During a hundred years才能是一个时期，a hundred years是个时间概念

想问什么时候用during, 什么时候用over?

excellent

还是不大清晰呀！糊涂！

"a hundred years"  is over a hundred.
"during" is used as a period with a strat and an end.
