57.       

The
Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with
more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were
connected by a complex regional system of roads.

(A) with
more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

(B) with
more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,

(C) of
more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had
been

(D) of
more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

(E) of
more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

答案是B,

我认为:1,with
more than 75 carefully engineered structures  在scale后以相当于限制性定语的功能修饰scale.

2, 那of up to 600 rooms each?是修Scale 还是修structures 还是settlements? 如果修scale , 那with,...和of 两个短语应有and 连接.而且为什么不都用with or of?

3,connected 修谁? structures or scale or settlements?

来讨论!

这个题 在prep 里面绝对算难题  希望nn 指点

 顶上去

是不是这样的阿：

xxx were built on a spectacular scale of up to 600 rooms (each room connected by...road)， with more than... structurs

同意楼上的，有两个介词短语修饰  scale ： 1）with more than... structurs 2） of up to 600 rooms each room connected by...road。

因为2）太长了所以后置，这种结构不用and连接。OG 10th 里面有这样的例子。

至今见过的最诡异的句子
