Because 70 percent of the people of India use wood as their sole fuel, ten million acres of forest have been lost there since 1960,
resulting in wood now costing eight times as much to collect and distribute than
in 1960.
选项
A、resulting in wood now costing eight times as much to collect and distribute than
B、resulting in wood now costing eight times as much to collect and distribute as
C、resulting in wood now costing eight times as much to collect and distribute than it did
D、and as a result wood now costs eight times as much to collect and distribute as it did
E、and wood now costs eight times as much as a result to collect and distribute than
答案
D
解析
Logically, the sentence attempts to say that the loss of forest has increased the price of wood. In the sentence as written, as well as choices B and C, the participle resulting modifies ten million acres of forest rather than the loss.
Note that any of the choices containing the comparison error as much... than are incorrect. This disqualifies A, C, and E. That leaves only B and D for consideration.
A This choice is incorrect for the reasons stated above. Furthermore, it is unclear what role costing plays: it could be either an adjective form of the verb to cost or a noun form of to cost.
B This choice is incorrect because the participle resulting modifies ten million acres of forest rather than the loss. Furthermore, it is unclear what role costing plays: it could be either an adjective form of the verb to cost or a noun form of to cost.
C This choice is incorrect because the participle resulting modifies ten million acres of forest rather than the loss. Furthermore, it is unclear what role costing plays: it could be either an adjective form of the verb to cost or a noun form of to cost.
D Correct. This clearly expresses the consequence that the loss of forest has increased prices of wood and uses the correct comparison as much ...as.
E This choice is incorrect because it uses the incorrect comparison as much ... than.
The correct answer is D.
