我想问一下这道题目的正确答案A选项怎么平行的啊？我觉得如果是平行的话C最完美了，为什么呢？谢谢大家。

帮顶!

现在能上来解释一下的人越来越少了

它的平行应该说的是时态的平行吧

MM真的是很执著啊

这道题我当初也在A,C间不定，不过犹豫再三还是选了A,具体为什么也说不清楚，就是觉得相对来讲更加顺眼一些。今天又看到MM up了帖子，所以觉得似乎一定要逼自己把这道题好好弄清楚了。

我来解释一下为什么不能选C吧。

(C) In Madagascar, the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, distantly related to Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembled South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered.

首先 Majungatholus atopus 作为插入成分修饰a meat-eating dinosaur，愈发上来讲有歧义。举个例子：the brother of my friend,Tom, came to see me today. 究竟谁是TOM 呢？ 当然你可能说bone 绝对不会引起歧义， 被 Majungatholus atopus 指代，可是在语法上还是有这个歧义存在的。

第二，既然Majungatholus atopus只是插入成分，那么后面的distantly related to Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembled South American predatory dinosaurs,语法上一定是修饰这个插入语前面的部分。那到底是the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur 还是 a meat-eating dinosaur呢？ 逻辑上肯定是后者，可是语法上就没有办法分清楚。

由这道题，我们同时也可以看到不是说用定语从句就一定罗嗦，在太多插入语和分词结构的句子里，有时候定语从句可以帮助去除歧义。

谢谢MM,A of B结构应该值得多留意,有好多考点!
