以OG81题为例,
81. In 1973 mortgage payments represented twenty-one percent of an average thirty-year-old male's income; and forty-four percent in 1984.
(A) income; and forty-four percent in 1984
(B) income; in 1984 the figure was forty-four percent
(C) income, and in 1984 forty-four percent
(D) income, forty-four percent in 1984 was the figure
(E) income that rose to forty-four percent in 1984
正确选项是B,所以我理解所谓“;”就是使两个完整的,有主谓宾的句子的并立。问题是是否需要考虑结构的一致。如果把B改成了income; the figure was 44% in 1984还是ETS的prefer吗?而且,“;”后面不用and连接两个句子,应该没有“……;and……”的存在吧?
另外关于and, 选项A,C是错误的,因为句子结构不完整。那么and后面应该跟怎样完整的句子呢?是不是也是主谓宾完全的呢?那不就和“;”一样了吗?
但是and常常用来连接平行结构,应该要考虑两个并列句结构的一致吧??
还有“,”,只用来表短暂停顿,所以分割的是整个句子,一个句子只能有一个谓语。D中的was自然是错的。问题是,是否有“……,and……”的存在?and后面完整的句子可是会多个动词呀?如果把D改成了“income, and in 1984 44% was the figure”正确吗??

我刚刚看了以下薄冰关于标点的语法,很全,但是上面的问题我还是不懂……
