d 应该改为as long as 30 feet

D选项错在量词的选择错误。feet是长度单位，不能用big（大）修饰。直接翻译成中文就

是：30英尺大。就好像你说一头蚂蚁一样。所以idomatically wrong.

我觉得是不是应该这样：sth as big as sth（具体某物）
                        而不是：sth as big as 多高多重

答案是A吧？
主谓一致 主语为 The 32 species  应该用 include  情态动词can不能随意省掉或增加与can 。。。and is。。。平行

D选项as big as 30 feet long

在字典中：
as much as意思是"高达......；与......一样多"。是用来表达极其多的语气。如：Some of the stones weigh as much as fifteen tons.有些石头重达15吨。

我也觉得是对的呀。
同问
