31. The spice cinnamon and the drugs cascara and quinine all come from bark, the protective out layer of stems and roots of woody plants.

CD的解释是把out改为outer

做时也是这么认为的，昨天网友冰雨1123给出了一个答案版本说是选A

2.The spice cinnamon and the drugs cascara and quinine (all come) from bark,
the protective (out) layer of (stems and roots) of woody (plants).

A (both )or B(outer)? 答案为A why??

今天正好复习到这里，于是又查了一下，发现有些问题

这是金山词霸2005带的美国传统字典给的关于out 的adj.的词条

adj.（形容词）
Exterior; external:
外部的；外围的：
the out surface of a ship's hull.

那么可以说B是没有错误的了，而且昨天我也表达了关于A错误的想法

我原来选的是B，但现在想A错了，主语可以看作是是The spice cinnamon and the drugs cascara and quinine

今天又查了langman当代词典电子版，给的关于out 的adj. 的解释是这样的

[not before noun]
1
no longer fashionable
ￚopposite inYou can't wear that - maxi skirts have been out for years.
2
especially American English if a machine, piece of equipment etc is out, it is not working
I don't believe it the elevator's out again!
ￚsee also be out of order atorder1 (8)

就是说out作为形容词不能放在名次前吧

在M-W字典里的解释是

Main Entry:4out
Function:adjective
Date:13th century

1 a : situated outside : EXTERNAL  b : OUT-OF-BOUNDS
2 : situated at a distance : OUTLYING *the out islands*
3 : not being in power
4 : ABSENT
5 : removed by the defense from play as a batter or base runner in a baseball inning *two men out*
6 : directed outward or serving to direct something outward *the out basket*
7 : not being in vogue or fashion
8 : not to be considered : out of the question
9 : DETERMINED 1 *was out to get revenge*
10 : publicly known or identified as a homosexual

我觉得第一解释是这里的意思，可惜M-W没有给出例句，但external是可以放在动词前这是显然的

下面是www.dictionary.com的解释

adj.
Exterior; external: the out surface of a ship's hull.
Directed away from a place or center; outgoing: the out doorway.
Traveling or landing out-of-bounds.
Not operating or operational: The power has been out for a week.
Extinguished: The lights were out next door.
Unconscious: was out for an hour during surgery.
Not to be considered or permitted: A taxi is out, because we don't have enough money. From now on, eating candy before dinner is out.
No longer fashionable.
No longer existing in one's possession or supplies: I can't offer you coffee because we're out.
Informal. Openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual: an out performer.
Baseball. Not allowed to continue to bat or run; retired.

同意out - outer
all come - 我觉得是对的，all作为副词理解
我记得有道以前的题好像类似，是把both改成all

怎么会是both？ all是形容前面三样东西的，不是形容后面两样的。
out->outer

both是指the spice 和 the drugs，而 cinnamon 是spice的同位语，同理，cascara and quinine是drugs的同位语。

这样理解对吗？

那么通过我在1楼引用的一些字典的解释，如果解释out的ADJ用法呢？
