正确答案:A 解析: The error in this sentence occurs at (A), where there is noun-noun disagreement. Instead of the singular “A meteorite,” the plural “Meteorites” is needed to agree with the plural nouns found later in the sentence (“particles” and “giants”). In addition, the singular verb “shows” should be changed to “show.” |
