英语问题，感谢解答The atmosphere is as much a part of the earth as ______its soil and the water of its lakes, rivers and oceans.A．areB．isC．doD．has 帮我讲讲选择a的原因 谢谢了

Answer 1

应该选A. are

根据句式 A is as + 形容词 + as B ，表示的是A和B的程度一样,A和B既可以是单词,也可以是句子,但必须是单词对单词,句子对句子

而这里比较的是两句话：

The atmosphere is a part of the earth.

The earth's (its) soil and the water of its lakes,rivers are a part of the earth.

即：The atmosphere is a part of the earth as much as its soil and the water of its lakes,rivers are a part of the earth. 为了句子结构的平衡,省略重复的部分,调整部分词序,形成本句的结构,而are是B这个句子的谓语动词,是不能省略的.

Answer 2

其基本意思为“与…一样”，其中的第一个as为副词，其后通常接形容词或副词(用原级)，第二个as可用作介词(后接名词或代词)或连词(后接从句)。您的句子中的第二个as是连词，连接并列句，第二个as后面的句子用了倒装和省略。正常语序是：as its soil and the water of its lakes are. 因为这个句子的主语是and连接的两个事物，是复数，所以用are. 翻译为：地球上的空气多得就像是土壤和江河湖海里的水一样。
