PP1－68 谢谢了

68. The Mississippi riverboat, which evolved from simpler steamship of the early 1800’s, became the dominant form of passenger transport on the LACE w:st="on">Mississippi RiverLACE>. 答案： steamshipàsteamships

分析：单数可数名词不能单独出现。需要注意的是，transport这里作名词，有“运输工具”的意思

参考译文：密西西比河船，在1800从简单的汽船演变过来，成为密西西比河上重要的旅客交通形式。

为什么不选C， passenger transport 不应是复数形式么，且B与The Mississippi riverboat形式对成呀，谢谢le

The Mississippi riverboat 单数名词前有限定词the，所以可以存在。

但我第一次选transport的……现在明白了
