Even though sub-Saharan Africa often evokes images of drought and famine, researchers say that the area is the home of more than 2,000 grains, vegetables, roots, fruits, and other foods that have the possibility for feeding the continent, even other parts of the world.

(A) have the possibility for feeding the continent, even

(B) have the possibility of feeding the continent, even of

(C) could feed the continent, so even with

(D) could feed the continent and even
(E) could possibly feed the continent and, in addition, for even


正确答案选D，我选的B，不懂为什么。。。
横线前的THAT不是修饰OTHER FOOD 吗？B中even后面补出OF不是应该更好吗？

首先纵向比较5个选项，发现CDE都是用could替代了AB中的have the

possibility，故排除AB；C中的so even with是错误的用法，排除；E中and，

in addition重复，也排除，最后就选D~

为什么COULD就把HAVE THE POSSIBILITY 好啊？

同问，今天看到PREP破解语法分析上有解释：
考点: 逻辑表达（Logical Predication）、简洁有效（Rhetorical

Construction）
1) 副词不能作连词连接句子。
2) and等连词连接的结构要平行
3) 注意情态动词和其他形容词,副词的语意重复, 如could, may和possibly,

perhaps等其他表示可
能性的词语意重复
(A) foods本身是不能拥有possibility的,因此have the possibility使用错

误，而且possibility的习惯用
法是跟of doing sth; even是副词,不能作连词
(B) 错误同A选项。
(C) so作为连词表示因此,所以的意思,改变了原意; even with的with没有可

以跟它平行的对象,with
应该去掉
(D) 正确, 句子结构简洁意思清晰
(E) could和possibly意思重复; and和in addition意思重复; for even的for

没有其他for…结构跟它平
行

但我对A的解释有疑问，为什么food就不能有possibility？even这里也不是做

连词用吧？
我觉得A错的原因是产生歧义：
1. can feed the continent, and can feed other parts of the world
2. can feed the continent, or can feed other parts of the world
