不确定答案是A还是D。

D选项中，Compared with most... 是不是夹心修饰？

这道题的答案是A

这里A中 compared with...是向后修饰而不是向前修饰，原因就是在passengers 后面的那个and 阻断了compared with 向前修饰的可能性。

句子的intended meaning 就是：
1/先定义了一下 Minivan: Minivans carry as many as seven passengers.
2/ 然后Minivans 的cost less get better gas mileage....直到句末的这鞋特性和 most sport utility vehicles 比较

而D中compared with 修饰的部分不明

谢谢！用句子结构来分析确实让我明白这个问题：
A选项是——S V and ,MODIFIER, V
D选项是——S ,MODIFIER, MODIFIER, V.

似乎在GMAT里，正确答案很少会出现两个NON-essential MODIFIER并列的情况
