E. Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country's size and bringing

答案C

我选的D，F大侠说D的问题在于bringing应该和doubling平行，用and链接。这点我同意。但是C我看起来也特别扭。

C在我看来，more than doubling its size有就近修饰an acre的歧义存在。

请路过的NN指点一下。谢谢！

more than doubling前面有逗号，不用担心有作an acre定语的歧义。

D中的第二个分词结构bringing...不对，应该是OG所说的dangling modifier。

P.S. 路过的，但不是NN。

C. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.

感觉很工整的

恩，承认C最工整。

还是有点题外问，D中in……，for ……，这样连续的状语用逗号分开修饰的表达算错吗？

不好，something weird.
