I couldn't find its solution anywhere so posting it here.
"In undistributed primary forests, the Honduran Mahogany grows up to a height of 130 feet, having a buttressed trunk and a crown that spread over the canopy of lesser trees."
Correct answer is -
"to a height of 130 feet, with a buttressed trunk and with a crown that spreads"
The explanation says that "spread" should logically refer to "a crown" and not to "a buttressed trunk and a crown". How do we know from the original sentence that "that" refers to "a crown" and not to "a buttressed trunk and a crown"?![]()
