56. Architects and stonemasons, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport.

(A) huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya without benefit of the wheel or animal transport

(B) without the benefits of animal transport or the wheel, huge palace and temple clusters were built by the Maya

(D) there were built, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters by the Maya（C）

(E) were the Maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, built huge palace and temple clusters

A, B, and D illogically suggest that the palace and temple clusters were architects and stonemasons. For the modification to be logical, Architects and stonemasons must immediately precede the Maya, the noun phrase it is meant to modify. （同位语修饰，要保证逻辑意思合理 ） A, B, and D also use the passive verb form were built, which produces unnecessary awkwardness and wordiness. （没有必要的被动语态会造成繁冗）. E is awkwardly phrased and produces a sentence fragment, because the appositive noun phrase Architects and stonemasons cannot serve as the subject of were the Maya. （？？？？）.C, the best answer, places the Maya immediately after its modifier and uses the active verb form built.

E is awkwardly phrased and produces a sentence fragment, because the appositive noun phrase Architects and stonemasons cannot serve as the subject of were the Maya. （？？？？）.

能否理解为主表逻辑关系不对等所以错也就是说建筑师是玛雅人错只能说是玛雅人是建筑师

E简化后，就是Architects and stonemasons, were the Maya. 主谓之间平白无故加个逗号，所以sentence fragment.

awkwardly phrased是因为逻辑关系不正确，就像你说的那样。

主谓之间平白无故加个逗号这样就成了sentence fragment. 怎么回事咦

is awkwardly phrased and produces a sentence fragment, because the appositive noun phrase Architects and stonemasons cannot serve as the subject of were the Maya.

显然这里OG认为同位语名词（Architects and stonemasons）不能做主语，所以造成这个句子没主语，所以是sentence fragment。
