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 (B) extends (C) extended (D) it extended (E) is extending
这是OG11-39题 答案a 我这样理解的, spawned 与extending 平行对称,一个被动一个主动所以一个done一个doing 但是答案的解释让我很困惑: A Correct. This sentence has the participles spawned and extending in a correct parallel construction. Spawned refers to something that happened in the past, while extending refers to something that continues into the present. 这个说spawn是因为发生在过去,用spawned extend指的是事情发生并延伸到present 所以用extending 难道分词还与时态相关? 哪位仁兄帮忙看看,有任何想法都帮忙顶下啊 谢谢了 |
