这题偶又错了，当时认为grow to 30 feet 就好，be 多余 - 其实语法上也没有错。(D)的big/long有些awkward,不过我认为最主要的还是缺了to (“生长"不及物用法，否则就不是“长到“，而是“长了”）。

Closely related to whales, the 32 species that make up the dolphin family (Delphinidae in scientific nomenclature) include killer whales, which grow up to 30 feet long and are famous for their aggressive hunting pods.

上文不见得是原出处，更像“美式“的抄袭

Peace

以下是引用fannyyudan在2006-5-14 20:28:00的发言：
我还是觉得这题肯定有问题，前面的include按ETS的习惯肯定会弄个includes来混淆视听

完全赞同，我觉得A和D都有其不妥的地方，A的grow to be没有道理，而D的as big as 30 feet long也是有奌啰嗦，但我觉得都不至于致命. 如果有一个用的是includes, 就不用死这么多脑细胞了。最理想的答案无疑是grow as long as 30 feet，所以我打算放弃追究A和D之间谁对谁错……

Why is it nobody thought about C? I personally like C a lot, so concise

C being 错。

what being? u mean doing? a "doing" clause as a modifier is so common

有没有人看看答案C那？？

本来选得D,阅读越觉得罗嗦，再看A和E只差一个it,这是ETS惯用的混淆视听的方法，所以应该再twins中选一个。还有就是include在考试中应该也会是一个考点吧

I admit that the following complies with common grammar rules:

They are not as big as the marsh frog which can grow
                    as
                    big
                    as five inches long.

But remember GMAT has its own rules.

I support that the correct answer is A. When "big" and "long" are put together, GMAT thinks it is too wordy.

我倾向于A的to be 的be多余，应该选D

好乱啊,这题,字典里也没见有grow to be 的用法呀,如果说要表示长到,grow to不就好了吗?
