Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.
210. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest. (A) extending (B) extends (C) extended (D) it extended (E) is extending
语法上讲B不错,只能说B的修饰成分距离先行词太远,造成AWKWARD (OG11- THE OSTENSIBLE PARREL BTW EXTENDS and the distant verb is is superficial and would result in an awkward and unclear sentence).
我知道是一个过去分词和一个现在分词并列修饰filigree。我的问题是:我不明白为什么og对于(a)项的解释说'spawned refers to something that happened in the past, while extending refers to something that continues into the present.'
