选项分析: A 选项中which后没有动词; B 中was和extended对应不一致,中间不能用连词; C DE选项都有GMAT语法优选的同位语标志,C选项没有主语, D 中the Incan highway搭配was extended错误,同时being词组一般是错误选项标志 E 选项正确,同位语正确选项标志,成分完整而且分词修饰准确。
A和C我知道那里错了,A 是which后没有动词,C是没有主语;D是有being错;对于B选项,解释说was和extended对应不一致,中间不能用连词,是不是因为主语是The greatest road system ,谓语是was, extend只能以现在分词的形式来做 the Incan highway的伴随状语,而不能用and联结谓语was和extended,这样就有歧义,即为The greatest road system extended了?所以选E
