请教一道GWD题：on account of a law passed in 1993

想请教大家一道GWD中的题

On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

A.       On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
B.       With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
C.       A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding
D.       Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
E.       Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

正选为D.

根据Ron的解释, passed 和making是两个修饰law的essential modifiers. 看到这道题我就想起OG12里的一道过去分词和现在分词并列修饰先行词的题（如下),  为什么这道GWD的题两个modifier之间可以不需要有连词？这难道不算是一个绝对性错误？烦请指教.

Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

because other options are fatally wrong, you should tolerate this kind of imperfection.

排除时会很容易把这个选项剔掉, 因为没有在gmat中看到过两个modifier可以不用连词直接这样放一块的例子, 所有没有这个是相对性错误的概念.

只能算作特例记下吧.

如果是两个initial modifier, Ron有明确说过不可以这样连用：

when we say "don't use two initial modifiers", we are talking about something like this:
Coming home from school, riding my bike, I was knocked down by the wind.
here, "coming home from school" and "riding my bike" are both genuinely initial modifiers, attempting to describe "I".

但是这道题中过去分词和现在分词连用，Ron虽然评价了这题，但并没有指出这个地方是错误的。
