Q29: PP-10
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.

A.   enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce
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
D.   enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing
E.   enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce

答案C
我知道D中的being很刺眼，但是貌似以前听说过非人的物体是不可以用be able to的，要用be capable of..
求赐教！！！感激不尽~

is capable of 指与生俱来的能力比able to 更不能用在非人物体上

可以啊猫阿狗阿都是非人物体，the dog is able to当然可以啦

错误和错误也有优先。就算tree be able to 不是非常合适，比起being dependent这个错误，应该就不严重啦～
