'Which' refers to 'acre' (the closest noun) 'and' is followed by complete sentence, so it should be preceded with','B. 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
Weird sentence structure. 'and' is followed by complete sentence, so it should be preceded with','C. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and bringing
correct choice. 'more than doubling its size and bringing' correctly modifies USAD. 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
parallelism is lacking between doubling and bringing.E. 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.
'it' refers to what?C is the answer
