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 producingE. enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce
答案是C，疑惑项是B。
B的and also不能算是错误标志吧？错在哪了呢？
想问一问Ｃ中关于并列的表达：depending on its size and on climate and altitude
这样复杂的表达是标准的么？还有没其他正确的表达呢？作者: avenue5th 时间: 2012-5-28 21:28

这个句子里depending不能改为dependent，因为depending和dependent的区别在于，前者伴随修饰谓语动词is able to produce，后者则是修饰名词single tree，会造成逻辑上不对 —— “一棵树依靠它的size”。
