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.
为什么？
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
(C)the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel
(D) there were built, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, huge palace and temple clusters by the Maya
(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. A, B, and D also use the passive verb form were built, which produces unnecessary awkwardness and wordiness. 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.
有何不可？
Architects and stonemasons, (E) were the Maya who, without the benefit of the wheel or animal transport, built huge palace and temple clusters
多了这逗号, 句子结构零散
I think E changes the focus of this sentence. In A, The maya built ... is the main idea. In E, maya were architects is the main meaning.
不是不是…………
eg
1. The endurance and consistency of baseball star Lou Gehrig, known as “The Iron Horse,” are legendary.
(A) The endurance and consistency of baseball star Lou Gehrig, known as “The Iron Horse,” are legendary.
(B) The endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig, a baseball star known as “The Iron Horse,” is legendary.
(C) Known as “The Iron Horse,” the endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig, the baseball star, is legendary.
(D) The reason baseball star Lou Gehrig is known as “The Iron Horse” is because of his legendary endurance and consistency.（A）
(E) Known as “The Iron Horse,” baseball star Lou Gehrig’s endurance and consistency are legendary.
B a baseball star known as “The Iron Horse”究竟是谁的同位语？也就说，把is改为are，b是否正确呢？？
同位语在句首修饰主句主语，同时不也就是就近修饰吗？

B a baseball star known as “The Iron Horse”究竟是谁的同位语？也就说，把is改为are，b是否正确呢？？
a baseball star known as "The Iron Horse" 是The endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig的同位语，两者不属于同类东西，所以即使is 改为are，b还是错。
俺现在总结了一个规律：如果在几个答案之间摇摆不定，就选择一个句子比较短，读起来比较顺口的。
这样还真能提高一下正确率。
坚决同意11楼的，如果选择E，句子重心就变了，原句要强调的是Maya人没有通过其他条件就建成了palace，如果选择了E，就强调建筑师、石匠是Maya人了。还有一点（仅仅是个人观点），你选E的话很有可能打眼一看是个倒装，但仔细看看，没有任何能引起倒装的词或结构。

有道理,
原文如果没有明显的逻辑错误,坚决支持
我觉得4楼说的很精辟啊，就是这个逗号让句子结构不完整了。
另外，用architects and stonemasons做主语，使改变后的句子重点发生了改变，改变了句意。
所以E坚决不对！（虽然偶一开始就相中了它……）
a baseball star known as "The Iron Horse" 是The endurance and consistency of Lou Gehrig的同位语，两者不属于同类东西，所以即使is 改为are，b还是错。
这个句子是同位语的问题么？我怎么觉得是插入语起修饰作用，我觉得b项谓语改复数是能讲通的~open to discuss
Architects and stonemasons, (E) were the Maya who, without the benefit of the
wheel or animal transport, built huge palace
and temple clusters

对，如果把逗号去掉可以选吗
