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（A）

(E) is extending

Choice A, the best answer, preserves grammatical parallelism while allowing for logical expression of temporal relationships; （平行）A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending... to modify filigree. Other choices present different grammatical constructions that are not participial modifiers and thus not parallel to spawned: extends in B is a present-tense verb; it extended in D begins a new clause; and is extending in E ungrammatically introduces a new predicate. In C, extended is nonparallel if it is assumed to be a past tense verb form; if it is assumed to be a past participle, it illogically states, as does D, that the filigree extended only in the past. （如果认为是过去式，则与原句不平行，如果认为是过去分词，则认为F只扩张在过去，也就是现在不扩张了，不合逻辑）

又一个平行的例子：逻辑平行最重要

A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending... to modify filigree

这个不理解为何两个平行的分词修饰的是filigree

我觉得从句意来说应该修饰的是a giant fungus 因为只有真菌才能spawned

在这种复杂修饰跳跃修饰中不知有没有什么好的原则能判断究竟修饰的是谁

谢谢

up！是啊，为什么不是修饰a giant fungus,是不是如果修饰a giant fungus 要加that呢？？看了原来讨论的帖子，并没有谈到这一点，还请大家多多指教，谢谢！

hmm...我想了又想，感觉要是修饰a giant fungus，应该要加that，是吗？即把E选项改成that is extending就可以了，对吗？这样的定语从句虽然前面有that（that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms ）,但后面的that是不可以省略的，是吗？？

还请大家指点，多谢！

你加了that, 有可能歧义并列两that从句, 造成其形式不并列(第一个that从句表状态, 事实, 第二个表动作ongoing condition)...

哦。。。原来如此，这下彻底明白了，真棒，谢谢狗狗！！
