For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year.
A. providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
B. providing them with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
C. provided with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
D. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
E. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce

这题选E，看过以前的讨论都是关于provided milked的，这个我明白，选的时候我选的是D
因为看到了最后的each per year
所以认为是单数.....
求解为什么要用复数

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool,   因为这里出现了them啊 所以是复数呀

duolaime

但是那个each的问题....
如果没有for那句的them作为线索的话~~~~

them指代牛们。
另外，请楼主告知一下讨论结果，为什么用过去时？

duolaime

理解是For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool 只是状语，可以把它放最后。
这样这个句子就成为了
provided them with high-energy feed, and milked them regularly, Holstein cows............ for the farmer......这样就可以理解了把~  看成倒装~

For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool, provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year.
each per year是状语 对句子的单复数没有影响
provided是表示被动不是过去式 逻辑主语是holstein cows这些牛
