标题: 连词+分词的结构是不是必错选项？
OG SC Sample Questions:
14. Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on the Sun’s poles or equator.
(A) are visible as dark spots on the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on
(B) are visible as dark spots that never have been sighted on the surface of the Sun
(C) appear on the surface of the Sun as dark spots although never sighted at
(D) appear as dark spots on the surface of the Sun, although never having been sighted at
(E) appear as dark spots on the Sun’s surface, which have never been sighted on
其中C选项，答案给出如下解释：
C Although typically introduces a subordinate clause, which has a subject and a verb, but
here there is no subject and sighted is not a complete verb.

可见Athough+sighted存在问题！
但是连词+分词（有时也理解为省略从句主语和系动词的结构）在日常英语中应该是认可的，该题的答案是否意味着GMAC不认可该结构呢？

此外，OG SC中另一题：
98. Even though Clovis points, spear points with longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces, have been found all over North America, they are named for the New Mexico site where they were fi rst discovered
in 1932.
(B) Although named for the New Mexico site where first discovered in 1932, Clovis points are spear points of longitudinal grooves chipped onto their faces and have been found all over North America.

答案认为：
B The sentence structure indicates that the expected incompatibility is between the geographically based name of the points and their physical properties, which makes no sense; where discovered is missing a subject— the correct form is where they were fi rst discovered.

可见，Where+分词的形式也被禁止！

36.Although eradicated in the United States, polio continues else where and could be brought into the country by visitors.

35. Along with the drop in producer prices announced yesterday,the strong retail sales figures released today seem to indicate that the economy, although growing slowly,is not nearing a recession.

囧，这样看的话，OG第14题的答案有点牵强啊，这不是自相矛盾么？到底这个用法对不对呢==

我也在困惑中，等待NN解答

像although这样的连词并不是一旦加分词就是错的，一般有这几种情况：
1.although+分词....., S（当然就是与分词对应的主语了）+V+O
2.S,although+分词.....,V+O
以上两种情况是连词+分词的表达是没有问题的，请看一下1楼NN给的例子就可以明白了。
一般错误地表达，经常出现在SVO+although（这时although后面一定是完整句子），当然像一般的情况Although+SVO,主句（SVO）肯定是不用多说的了，必然对啊。。。

以上是我遇到的题目中一些用法，希望NN补充哈

good,
how about even though, though, etc?

嗯，这个是状语从句的省略问题。我来小小的补充一下下~~~

状语从句的省略，形式是【状语从句连词+形容词/-ed/-ing】，一定不能是【状语从句连词+名词/介词短语】
所以when a child这种形式一定是错误的
要求是，状语从句的主语与主句主语相同，状语从句的谓语是be，且状从后面主语和be同省同留。

特别的，once+名词/介词短语是正确的；whatever+名词是正确的

我也来补充一下：

像是although这些状语从句的省略

不是说语法上有什么错误，而是GMAC想要去尽可能的避免，就不会想去以这个句式来作为很多题目的正确选项

但是当这些句式能作为正确选项的时候，你应该是会很有自信的选出来的，因为其他选项会错的更加离谱

就像同一个主语并列两个谓语时，有时也会加个逗号 A do，and do

这时其他选项也会错的很夸张；不会说叫你直接作出一个A do and do和A do，and do之间的split的
