其实我开始跟LZ一样被这道题的事态弄晕了。后来发现如果站在研究者的的角度，才逐渐理解了这题的时态,推荐你看看这个:http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-530564-1-1.html?postid=14914661&searchmode=TopicContent&searchtext=combining%20enormous%20phy

appear 的用法
1、作系动词, =seem, +adj.    作表语。没有过去时态
2、作动词, appear to +动词不定式, appear that 从句, it appears that…

Here, the meaning of appear should be " seems", and parallel to" indicates "

OG上面是这么说的啊
不过我觉得不对！！！绝对不对！！！
这里后面的indicates是说的是哪个例子：disappearance indicates，用现在时没错
而前面既然N人明显是以前出现的，以前XXX的
最好的说法应该是appeared to equiped。。。。
而用现在时根本没道理啊
OG这道题后面的那道时态题我觉得跟这道题有矛盾的地方：
贴出来：
74. A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United
States reduced the amount of phosphates that
municipalities had been allowed to dump into the
Great Lakes.
(A) reduced the amount of phosphates that
municipalities had been allowed to dump
(B) reduced the phosphate amount that
municipalities had been dumping
(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities
have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that
municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for
dumping by municipalities

这道题里面说reduced是因为过去就reduce了，那N人过去appear的不应该是appeared？？？
而且这个后面说的什么are allow to dump太不靠谱了吧！
既然ta减少的是以前的那个量，当然用过去完成时了。。。原文没说现在到底dump还是不dump。。。
反正被这两道题脑袋都搞晕了。。。
讨论下。。。快考了。。。越来越晕。。。

This is my point:

it seems that the boys broke the window-->CORRECT
the boys seem to have broken the window-->CORRECT
the boys seemed to have broken the window-->INCORRECT
According to the observation of last week , the boys seemed to have broken the window-->CORRECT


(1) "appear as ADJ"-->INCORRECT
"appear to be ADJ"-->现在-->CORRECT
"appear to have been ADJ"-->过去-->CORRECT
-->ACD错

(2) "equipped for VERBing"-->INCORRECT
"equipped to VERB"-->CORRECT
-->AE错

选B

表示一种状态，不用过去式也可以的吧，同意小M

ttc12345

我觉得他这里就是在陈述一个事实，就用一般现在时

ran2010zx

那从意思上来说应该就是过去式啊
