In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country's size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean.
In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country's size and that brought
For about four cents an acre the United States acquired, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country's size and it brought

The United States, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, for about four cents an acre, acquired 828,000 square miles, more than doubling the country's size, bringing
Acquiring 828,000 square miles in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States bought it for about four cents an acre, more than doubling the country's size and bringing
D里的more than doubling the country's size我第一反应是定语修饰828,000 square miles,主要原因是看到more than,觉得前面又是名词,没有意识到more than是修饰doubling的,更加没有意识到是状语修饰acquire,所以没有觉得D的两个分词状语应该用and链接。
原句句子结构:With…, the US acquired…, doubling… and bringing…[acquire是核心词]
A:which修饰错误,不能用which指代前面的一件事情
B:and it bought不平行
C:✅[很神奇的with正确]
D:double、bring应该是平行关系
E:核心词有误,E着重于美国花多少钱买的
B我感觉没有谓语?it不知道是啥
D的话,是不是run on?没有连词
CE的意思完全就不同了C着重美国买地,E着重于美国花多少钱买的,忠于原来的句子应该是C
d这样说很歧义,wordy
A:which修饰错误
B:and it bought不平行
C:✅[很神奇的with正确]
D:double、bring应该是平行关系
E:核心词有误
choice b, 由于用逗号隔开的介词短语, in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, 828,000 square miles,导致acquired的宾语从主干成分变成了修饰。语意错误
choice d, doubling 和bringing应该是平行的关系,因为美国购买土地带来的两个后果1)国土面积扩张2倍以上;2)西边的边境抵达了太平洋。choice c的写法变成了bringng往前修饰doubling
choice e, acquiring作为伴随状语修饰谓语动词bought, 句子的重心变了。并且doubling, bringing修饰的动词是bought,错误。这两个伴随状语应该是“acquire”的结果,而不是“bought”的结果。另外代词it想要指代Louisiana是有问题的,因为在名词Louisiana Purchase中,Louisiana相当于是一个形容词
which more than doubled
A与C,执行语意>构句语法>细微语法点的判断原则,对with拿不准时,仔细比对A和C的语意和构句差异,而不是直接排除C。
原句句子结构:With…, the US acquired…, doubling… and bringing…
B and it brought 平行结构错误;
C 正确。
D doubling,bringing 结构使用错误;
