OG210210. 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
为什么不用C与SPAWNED都是过去时？而要选择现在时态？
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; 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.
这里看不懂OG说spawned... and extending... to modify filigree，为什么不是modify rootlike tentacles，最近的名词？而且这里似乎没有任何标志显示跳跃这么远去修饰filigree的？如果真是这样，请问本句的句子结构是什么样的？谢谢！
为什么不可以？
通常A of B 结构后面加that引导的定语从句修饰A 或者B都可以的，通过从句中谓语的单复数来避免歧义。
但是这道题根本没有办法避免歧义。而且说实在的ETS好像对此也很混乱，看OG164,
164. The commission proposed that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is obtained through a local bond issue.
(A) that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is
(B) that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be
(C) funding for the development of the park, perhaps open to the public early next year, to be
(D) funds for the park’s development, perhaps open to the public early next year, be（B）
(E) development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be
Choice B is best. Choice A attaches the relative clause which could be open... to the noun development, when, in fact, it is the park that could be open. Choice C omits that, the object of proposed that is needed to introduce the clause describing the proposal. C also uses to be unidiomatically where be is correct: the commission proposed [that] funding... to be obtained is wrong. Choice D incorrectly uses perhaps open to the public... to modify development; the phrase should modify park. Choice E, which seriously distorts meaning, says that the commission proposed development funding and that such funding could be open to the public....
B选项认为which是修饰park的，但是到了E却说which是修饰funding的。奇怪不？
确实挺奇怪的
上面的问题，偶不敢想当然了
仔细分析句子结构是取得高分的不2法门

丫头好厉害。我认为此题要从题意中的LINE OF REASONING来理解了。
句中的KEY WORD是ORGANISM-----FUNGUS-----THAT IS FILIGREE，那么SPAWNED和EXTENDING当然就是MODIFY FILIGREE了，因为触角是不能SPAWNED从SPORE的。
谢谢tony6，可不可以理解成修饰成分优先修饰中心词？
另外，偶对OG164ETS对选项E的解释实在不明白(偶的问题请参考上面的帖子)，能不能也解释一下？谢谢！
LES, 我把你这问题(OG164)另外贴出来噢!!
因为我想好久, 真的一点头绪都没有....
那个问问题的同学,你看清楚
the development of the park 和 the funding for the development of the park
中心词是不是一样? 您好好想想!
OG 又做了一遍看到这题目的讨论突然发现:有时候我们看OG的解释不可以断章取义,虽然OG解释看起来很有"矛盾" 但是ETS认为 PROPOSE THAT....,WHICH... 和 PROPOSE STH ,WHICH 是不一样的,最终我们还是要看中心词是什么 而不是光着眼于字面上WHICH 跟在什么后面就一定修饰什么，对不?
