In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.

(A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics

(B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers

(C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics

(D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers

(E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers

答案是E。为什么不用D？partly because不是对照工整么？仅仅因为用被动？

牛兄，E是什么意思呀？partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers是说从他们的阉割过的公牛中获取一些特征？为什么用 partly to 呀？

UP!!!!

oldmba

be acquired by their steers

acquire certain characteristics in their steers

这当然不是一个意思了。by their steers 是指被牛获得；acquire in their steers是指从牛身上获取。
