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.

OG210210. 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.
(A) extending
(B) extends
(C) extended
(D) it extended
(E) is extending
为什么不用C与SPAWNED都是过去时?而要选择现在时态?

过去分词修饰语和现在分词修饰语并列。C表被动,显然错。

210. 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.

(A) extending
(B) extends
(C) extended
(D) it extendedA
(E) is extending

Choice A, the best answer, preserves grammatical parallelism while allowing for logical expression of temporal relationships; A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending... to modify filigree. Other choices present different grammatical constructions that are not participial modifiers and thus not parallel to spawned: extends in B is a present-tense verb; it extended in D begins a new clause; and is extending in E ungrammatically introduces a new predicate. In C, extended is nonparallel if it is assumed to be a past tense verb form; if it is assumed to be a past participle, it illogically states, as does D, that the filigree extended only in the past.

这里看不懂OG说spawned... and extending... to modify filigree为什么不是modify rootlike tentacles,最近的名词?而且这里似乎没有任何标志显示跳跃这么远去修饰filigree的?如果真是这样,请问本句的句子结构是什么样的?谢谢!

an interwoven filigree 是由mushrooms and rootlike tentacles 组成的,所以修饰filigree

以下是引用bon在2004-5-31 19:29:00的发言:

bon, 你所说的因果关系-不懂!

我的意思是A of B,B修饰A,A是中心语,所以后面的过去分词和现在分词都修饰A

我的意思是A of B,B修饰A,A是中心语,所以后面的过去分词和现在分词都修饰A;如果照你说,spawned修饰 rootlike tentacles 的话,一个非中心语的短语,为什么要用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.来修饰呢

为什么不可以?

通常A of B 结构后面加that引导的定语从句修饰A 或者B都可以的,通过从句中谓语的单复数来避免歧义。

但是这道题根本没有办法避免歧义。而且说实在的ETS好像对此也很混乱,看OG164,
164. The commission proposed that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is obtained through a local bond issue.

(A) that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is
(B) that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be
(C) funding for the development of the park, perhaps open to the public early next year, to be
(D) funds for the park’s development, perhaps open to the public early next year, beB
(E) development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be

Choice B is best. Choice A attaches the relative clause which could be open... to the noun development, when, in fact, it is the park that could be open. Choice C omits that, the object of proposed that is needed to introduce the clause describing the proposal. C also uses to be unidiomatically where be is correct: the commission proposed [that] funding... to be obtained is wrong. Choice D incorrectly uses perhaps open to the public... to modify development; the phrase should modify park. Choice E, which seriously distorts meaning, says that the commission proposed development funding and that such funding could be open to the public....

B选项认为which是修饰park的,但是到了E却说which是修饰funding的。奇怪不?
