答案的确应该是D。

A的错误在于动词和形容词的不平行:carry.. and cost../ get.., allow.., and have..;as many as/ less, more, better, smoother

另外从逻辑上也有问题:compared with A, B...,B后强调的是差异,所以less, better,more, smoother这些比较级都合理,而as many as不强调差异比较。

另外,个人认为这个例子不好,因为即便是D,也存在句子结构不尽合理的地方。如果D被改为:

Compared with most sport utility vehicles, Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, cost less, 应该更好地表达句子的意思,而且结构合理。

I agree with stoneren. But I cannot sure that past participle phrase "compared" can govern the subject "Minivans"???????


The same question discussed by mariezhu, LES, and tianwan several days ago.


I choose the same wrong choice A as does tianwan.

以下是引用weiyu在2004-6-20 2:31:00的发言:

如你所言,我也不认为compared修饰Minivans是清楚明确的,但是,从意思上讲肯定是修饰Minivans的,所以,我在3楼里提出对这题结构的优化。其实,这道题出得不好。

I still hold that the A is correct. 2 levels of coordination are in the sentence: "[carry as many as seven passengers ]and , compared with most sport utility vehicles,[cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.]"

Tianwan, I support you. I vote A.

小弟一点意见,请各位大哥指点

Minivans ,分词作状语,谓语动词compared with.后面的cost,get,allow都是修饰成分。请各位高人指点。

个人浅见

cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.这几个部分应该连在一起,都是比较出的结果

carry as many as seven passengers 则是另一层意思,是比较的前的condition,

所以我认为选D正确,正如tianwan你所说,这两层意思是分开的
