标题: OG12 Q87 关于省略

In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices;their wines have been priced to sell,and they are.

(A) have been priced to sell,and they are.

(B) are priced to sell, and they have

(C)are priced to sell, and they do

(D)are being priced to sell, and have

(E)had been priced to sell，and they have

C为答案

对于这道题OG的解释是：

In the underlined segment，the second verb does not need to repeat the word sell because it is understood from the previous verb phrase priced to sell,however ,the second verb must be correctly conjugated with the understood sell, they are sell is not a correct verb form;they do sell is correct.

它是想说：In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices;their wines are priced to sell, and they do （sell）这两个sell形式上一致，所以选择C。

但是，在看《新编英语语法》的时候，关于省略有这样一段话：

被省略的动词，可在时，体上与已经出现的相应动词不一致，由此它还举了例子：

bob has not written his report,but he will soon (written his report)括号里面的是省略的部分。

为什么OG的解释和语法书上的正好相反呢，真相到底应该是什么样子的？请牛牛赐教了～～谢谢

需不需要和前面一样是看作者要表达的意思。如果是现在的两样东西比就需要形式一样，如果是现在跟过去/将来的东西比，主从句指的什么时间段就分别用那个时间段的时态。

现在不是也是一样东西的两个时态的对比么？

这题我也有疑问，求牛牛来解释啊

经验告诉我们，GMAT语法和一般的不一样，是求相对较好，没有绝对很好之说，所以只要知道为什么比其他的好就行了

我就用Ron的方法：
you may find that your best course of action is simply to commit the acceptable versions to memory, and then look for sentences that look like them.
that's the entire way we learn language as kids - imitate the "proper" speech of adults - so it may be the best way to go here, too. unless you have a ridiculous memory, it's probably not worthwhile to try to memorize all the "rules" governing subtleties such as this one.

咱先来体会一下这两个句子：
Their wines are priced to sell, and they do.
[The vintners' wines are priced to sell, and the vintners do sell.]
读的时候重读蓝色部分，强调前面的不定式（通常表示intention的含义），再强调后面的do（表示fact），体现出类“如愿以偿”的感觉。发现了吗——强调的部分，也正好是平行结构！

下面这个句子你找得真好，感谢！
Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they do.
[Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and our cars do inspire envy. ]

那我试着imitate，造几个句子：
The flying machine by the Wright Brothers was designed to fly, and it did.
Apple is missioned to challenge the status quo, and it does.
The Nazi was destined to fall, and it did.
The stock market had been predicted to soar following the release of the March data, and it did.
The crack-down of the commenting functions on Sina's and Tencent's microblogs was intended to quell the Internet spreading of political rumors, and it did. （不讨论事实是否如此哈，我只是造个句子

）
......
好啦，你也可以brain-storm，造句子。然后考试时遇到类似的句子就可以apply our pattern recognition，这就足够了。
