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 producing
(E) enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude,
could produce


根据补充说明:
[1] Depending on… 和 dependent on… 均为合理的用法,因此这两者之间的区别并非本题的考点。
[2] 此句描述的为一个客观事实,且主句位于varies属于一般现在时,所以because引起的从句也以一
般现在时为佳,因此在时态上,BCD相较AE为佳。但除此之外,can/ be able to/ be capable of
的区别和优劣不是本题的考点。

且:both…and also以及both…as well as均错误

最后停在BC上面了,答案选C

我的问题是:我不觉得dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude有什么错误啊!
而且相对于C,B也有"且"的含义……

请指教……

我的思路:

because优于in that,排除AB。

D因为不必要用being done排除。

E中both...as well as错。


另外,个人认为depending比dependent好。因为doing表动作,强调在produce berries这件事上,他们“依靠...”而dependent表日常状态、自身属性,如:a dependent child(一个有依赖性的小孩),表示该小孩任何事情,任何时候都有依赖性。

Because要优于in that的哦?
