之前没有看清楚划线部分,所以觉得不是个完整句子,sorry. Quote from internet:
A. The sentence is trying to say that 'the trend of growing feed corn and red wheat will be reversed by probably growing sonmething else'
D can be inferred as the opposite: 'a gradual reversion to raise agricultural staples', meaning reversion will lead to the raising of feed corn and red wheat'D. A gradual reversion to raise agricultural staples -->INCORRECT: second best, i would say but meaning is changing, as gradual reversion is not to raise
