104.       (29915-!-item-!-188;#058&004465)

 The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.

 The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.

 The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.

(B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce

C enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce

不好意思，贴错了，答案应该是C

语法笔记对B的解释是：both and 使用错误。我拿上放大镜也没找到这个both。

另外，我认为这句话的重点是 咖啡豆的产量不同在哪里，而不是因为什么而不同

希望大家能来探讨下

I think it is the best way to say "on A, B, and C" than "on A and on B and C" or "on A as well as on B and C"
I never heard or read anything like the later two.....

cestmoilance

In B and E, dependent is a n. to reflect tree, is not logic
In A, it is obvious that size, climate, and altitude are a set of parallel three, it doesn't make anysense to group the later two together and parallel the group with its size.
In C, even if the both is omitted, still has the same issue as A.

谢谢楼上，提醒了我

dependent应该是依赖的意思，一般不做根据。。而。。。

B到底错在哪里？

dependent on为形容词做插入语，修饰tree没错的话。

那dependent on……and on……也没有错误啊～～
