Does the highlighted phrase "the box" refer to the box in the other highlightd phrase

Hi,

In the below sentence, does highlighted phrase "the box" refer to the box in another highlighted phrase "in the box from latter box"

Sentence:
He ate oranges, in the box from a box, and ate apples, in the latter box, and ate grapes, in the box from latter box, and ate tomatoes, in the box.

Pls help.

Tks in adv

joee

This run-on sentence is not in comprehensible English. It doesn't mean anything. Where did you find it?

He ate oranges, in the box from a box,
The first part itself is senseless. What is "the box"? Have you mentioned it earlier somewhere?

Joe, answer GoesStation's question in post #2 and don't start any new threads until this one has been cleared up.

As 5jj said, reread emsr2d2's reply in this thread: https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/t...55#post1716455

Are you sure your native language is English? Your sentences don't make any sense. Please write shorter sentences and try to tell us what you want to say in simpler language.
