8. GWD28-Q8:

In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

 

A.      In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country’s size and that brought  [which指代不清]

B.       For about four cents an acre the United States acquired, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size and it brought  [没有v.]

C.      With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing

D.      The United States, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre, acquired 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country’s size, bringing

E.       Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country’s size and bringing

我选择了C，with the louisiana Purchase in 1803难道有问题？ doubling its size,应该指代主语the United States？

不知道错在那里

可是答案是E. 另外D虽然主位距离很远但语法上也并没有什么错误？

c 的it's指代不清？不如thecountry's明白，感觉D错在bring前面少了and?

C: doubling its size感觉象是double了louisiana的size。with并不算错，但在这里比不上in：用with时，主句是with后面东西的结果；用in时，主句是in后面东西的行为。比较下面两个句子就清楚了：With the purchase, US doubles the country's size; In the purchase, US acquire 828k sq miles.
D: doubling...和bringing之间缺了个and； for 4 cents an acre, acquire...这个倒装用得有点别扭。
