Ron,member, pls, help

I agree that D is wrong but I want to know more.

in D, "in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803", and "for about four cents an acre" are not connected. I think we need "and" between these phrase.

A I correct? pls, help.


no. you don't use X and Y unless "X" and "Y" are separate and relatively independent.

here's an analogy:
On December 3, between 2:30 and 3:00 in the morning, a burglar broke into the house. --> here, these modifiers are not separate and independent, so you don't put "and" between them.

On the morning of December 3 and on the evening of December 5, burglars broke into the house. --> here, these are separate and independent, so you use "and".
