标题: 请教NN一个问题 prep08 186

186. (32899-!-item-!-188;#058&007188) (GWD-6-Q41)

Thegreatest road system built in the Americasprior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus was the Incan highway, which,over 2,500 miles long and extending from northern Ecuadorthrough Peru to southern Chile.

A.Columbus was the Incan highway, which, over 2,500 miles long and extending

B. Columbus was theIncan highway, over 2,500 miles in length, and extended

C.Columbus, the Incan highway, which was over 2,500 miles in length and extended

D.Columbus, the Incan highway, being over 2,500miles in length, was extended

E. Columbus, the Incan highway was over2,500 miles long, extending

NN们，B选项中的meaning错误我知道，但是over 2500 miles in length是不是也有错？为什么之前讨论帖和08语法笔记里都没有说到，这里over 2500 miles in length做的是什么成分呢？谢谢NN！

做的当然是modifier喽，修饰highway，我觉得没错哇，不过从concise的角度来说没有over 2500 miles long简洁。还有modifier用逗号隔开，是非核心modifier,曼哈顿有提过。。

没错啊，插入的成分来修饰highway。这个题目看不出应该over 2,500 miles long 放在主句里面还是extended from northern Ecuadorthrough Peru to southern Chile.放在主句里面，还是并列在主句里面。所以可以随意。

可是为什么我记得没有这种修饰成分，就单独一个借此短语，至少也应该用非限定性定语从句，变成which was over 2500 miles...才对呀！求NN解答

有的，举个例子，一个名词的同位语是被一个长的定语从句修饰时，就会前后用逗号隔开。去感受下曼哈顿modifier那章，经典啊！
