[讨论]OG246是并列句还是定语从句？

246. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again（C）

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

为什么必须有but，如果B中again没有的话，B是否正确？

疑惑的是有whose的句子难道可以是独立句？

246. Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A)  often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

(B)   whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again

(C)  but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

(D)  who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again

(E)   then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

Choice C, the best answer, maintains parallel structure, keeps verb tense consistent, and contains no redundancies. Choice A illogically suggests that it is the composer who goes into decline after death, rather than the composer's reputation. Choice A may also be faulted for the redundancy of never regains ... again（这话说的多么的罗嗦）. Choice B is not correct. Grammatically, a coordinating conjunction (e.g., "but") is needed to join the clause whose reputation declines ... with the preceding clause, who receives popular acclaim.... Furthermore, the phrase never regains... again suffers from redundancy. Choices D and E suffer from inconsistency in verb tense. To maintain parallelism the verbs must be receives... declines... regains.

1． Regain …again 说的罗嗦

2． C答案正确，并且是两个定语从句并列，中间药用连词（比如but）

3． Decline 动词比名词好

这是菜鸟手册上对这题的解释，你可以下载来看看。

标准的定语从句并列，楼主可注意：

除了 who..., and(or but) whose...之外，其它定语从句的关系代副词要一致，如

where...,and where...,

which..., and which...
