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.
是可以并列的,OG有一道题是这样的 OG12上的一道语法题: 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. 该句子里面就是ed and ing的平行了 还是应该从逻辑意思上去理解句子,虽然平行可以帮助你快速删去正确选项,但是选完之后最后能再审视一遍,这样的句子是否表达了意思
....,with individual bulls and cows receiving awards,fetching unprecedented prices,and___enormous interest .... a. excited(石林的答案) b. exciting(赵丽的答案) 到底是怎么并列的?现在分词和过去分词能并列吗?

根据OG,现在分词和过去分词是可以平行的。 OG42Scientists 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 这里面就是过去分词spawned和现在分词extending平行。 以下是OG的解释:The original sentence is correctly written. The giant fungus is described as an interwoven filigree spawned … some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres. Th e present participle extending parallels the past participle spawned. 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. 我的理解就是spawned表示发生在过去,并且表示被动;而extending则表示一直延续,和主动。 而你说的问题, with individual bulls and cows receiving awards, fetching unprecedented prices, and excited enormous interest whenever they were put on show. with 里面individual bulls and cows 是动作的发出者,是它们使XXX兴奋;另外,excited表示人的主观感受,excite 表示使。。。兴奋。 总结来说,就是具体选择现在分词还是过去分词,我觉得不是根据平行,而是要看句子的逻辑意思。
