Question

一道英语选择题，请说明原因

They dug ______,then put the box in it.
A.a three feet deep hole
B.a hole of three feet
C.a hole three-foot-deep
D.a hole three feet deep

Answer 1

They dug ___D___,（定语后置）
==They dug a three-foot-deep hole （定语前置）
==They dug a hole which was three feet deep（定语从句）。

1 a hole three feet deep-------在这里three feet deep放在hole的后面做定语后置，说明hole。
2 a three-foot-deep hole -------在这里three-foot-deep放在hole的前面做定语，修饰hole.

Answer 2

C
A,是典型的中文语法的用法
B,好像没有表示洞深
C,three-foot-deep修饰的是hole

D,缺个of

Answer 3

B
他们挖了一个三英尺深的洞，之后把盒子放了进去。
如果是A a three-foot-deep hole
带连字符的要用单数，只能做定语。所以C也不对。
D不能把HOLE放在前面。如果放前面后面要有OF

Answer 4

如果a有连字符就选a

如果没有就选c优先选带连字符的

c要是错的就选b

Answer 5

B 一个三米深的洞，a three-foot-deep hole 或是a hole of three feet (deep)

Answer 6

B
