[求助]模考时的一道题：tend和can并列？

wanglizero

模考时遇到的一道题，想不明白，prep没找到，对照着软件手打出来

A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place,researchers have discovered,and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.

A. tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if

B.they tend not to bother recovering a perishable treat

C.tending not to bother to recover a perishable treat it

D.tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat

E.tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat it

我选的是A，tend和remember对应

但是答案是D，怎么也不知道tends和什么并列

另外求 bother的用法，+to do?+doing?

请高手回答！

researchers have discovered是插入语，省去不看，整个句子就是A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place and tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat . tends的主语还是A scrub jay

那这句话就根本不存在并列一说咯？难不成tends和can并列

是这样吗？那什么时候区分该不该并列呢？

▶MAKE AN EFFORT◀

朗文字典里的

A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place,researchers have discovered,and tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat stored long enough to have rotted.

黑体是一起的, 横线的插入语

can 是情态动词, tend 是动词

不是can remember and can tend, 意思多别扭啊

tend to do sth

我也没有搞明白 同问

tend not to bother torecover a perishable treat if stored long enoughto have rotted这个关键在于后面，if stored 省略了主语，默认为主语是主句主语，所以逻辑上变成了鸟被store了

嗯，LZ和各位G友，同好。在下有礼了先～

先看题目，说A scrub jay can干嘛干嘛，然后插入了一下，and干嘛干嘛。

一看到and，我们就像看到亲人一样，马上选择平行结构的思路。但是ETS最重要的思路还是逻辑关系（这点有大N的心经为证），这题选项里没有can，那么就找动词原形来满足平行的话，and后面半个句子其实变成了can tend to，显得很奇怪。而且选项A中最后还带了一个if，并且后面没有主语，因此stored只能用来修饰主句的主语A scrub jay，逻辑意思不对。因为我们知道stored long enoughto have rotted是修饰a perishable treat的。

另外，补充一点。bother to do和bother doing是都可以的，但是前面有了一个tend to do，再加另外一个动词不定式显得重复而且不好看，所以选择了bother doing。这点在我们平时写作的时候，也有帮助吧。

researchers have discovered 有主有谓，为什么可以做插入语？一个句子不是不可以有两套主谓么？为什么都没有人有同样的疑问？是我问得太白痴了么？
