OG11th 39题

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(正确)

B  extends

C  extended

D  it extended

E  is extending

OG的解释:the original sentence is correctly written. The giant gungus is described as an interwoven filigree spawned ...some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres. The present participle extending parallels the past participle spawned.

各位大虾解释解释,偶老觉得用extends~~~

这题开始我也错了,选了C.开始以为Spwaned修饰mushrooms and rootlike tentacles

我认为Spwaned和Extending同时修饰 an interwoven filigree,相当于两个并列的修饰成分。

不知道我的理解对不对，请大家多多指教，谢谢！！

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 （that is）【some 10,000 years ago】 and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

分词的形式不一样spawned ，by是说明是被动

这样的杂交物an interwoven filigree 布满了方圆30英亩的 Michigan forest的土地。这里的分词是主动的。

如果是extended则表明and后面是一个动作，而and前面是一种对an interwoven filigree修饰

and前后的平行成分，概念不一样

这题好难理解啊，看了20分钟才明白在说什么

一个超长的同位语

汗

这道题我看了答案的解释后，就理解了。

其实如果能看懂这句话的意思就简单了。

extending表示持续到现在，其他的答案都没有这个含义！
