Let $T _ { 1 }$ and $T _ { 2 }$ be two distinct common tangents to the ellipse $E : \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 6 } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 3 } = 1$ and the parabola $P : y ^ { 2 } = 12 x$. Suppose that the tangent $T _ { 1 }$ touches $P$ and $E$ at the points $A _ { 1 }$ and $A _ { 2 }$, respectively and the tangent $T _ { 2 }$ touches $P$ and $E$ at the points $A _ { 4 }$ and $A _ { 3 }$, respectively. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?
(A) The area of the quadrilateral $A _ { 1 } A _ { 2 } A _ { 3 } A _ { 4 }$ is 35 square units
(B) The area of the quadrilateral $A _ { 1 } A _ { 2 } A _ { 3 } A _ { 4 }$ is 36 square units
(C) The tangents $T _ { 1 }$ and $T _ { 2 }$ meet the $x$-axis at the point $( - 3,0 )$
(D) The tangents $T _ { 1 }$ and $T _ { 2 }$ meet the $x$-axis at the point $( - 6,0 )$
