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


答案是C，好奇怪，难道插入语再插么？？？不知道这个句子究竟怎么搞的
我选的A~~
请NN帮忙~

because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
because前后分别是两个完整的句子，depending on its size and on climate and altitude是后面这个句子的插入成分

又看到你了。。
A错在 both...and...要严格平行对应 depending on both its size and on climate and altitude改为 depending both on its size and on climate and altitude 才对 或者depending on both its size and climate and altitude（这个好像有点儿怪怪的。。这个你就忽视了吧。。）
另外 有vary...in...（牛津高阶）的结构 和differ类似 不过不知道in后面可不可以跟从句 这个有待考证。。

我LGC，我也想知道啊，这prep什么情况？？？我就选的B，搞不懂为啥错了。。

我在大家网找到了一个人名David（用户账号kphank）的解答，如下：
'in that' is used to introduce why a statement I have just made is true:
I'm lucky in that I still have my health.
(Having my health proves to me I am a lucky person)
'because' is used when you are simply stating the reason for something.

In your sentence, you are not asserting a truth that 'yield per acre varies' and showing why this is true. Having high and low places in the world, having different climate zones etc does not prove that 'yield per acre varies' - they explain the reason why it varies.

in that的用途比because窄，它只是引出一个原因来证明in that之前的陈述是真的。
，如果in that后是通过其他方式来解释in that之前的陈述的正确性，那么in that表达就错了。

这里也考了able和could的区别。could强调一种可能性（像can will would  may might 都是），而able强调一种能力。具体那个对要看原文要表达哪种意思。
