62.  Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient
cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of

2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than
36 years to complete.

答案是A
我想请问A中，为什么一个主语能同时出现is 和 took 两种时态的动词？难道and不应该是平行结构吗？
这是什么知识点？可以举点例子吗？

曼哈顿上说平行时structure和logic的平行，没有说时态平行。时态是另外一个考点，需要单独考虑，不能跟平行一起考虑的。看到有些解释里面说根据平行来确定时态，我觉得是不太合适的。

谢谢，能说得详细点吗？
structure的平行，是比如说：
to do, do, doing 要平行吗？

PS 时态的问题特别希望能给点例子之类更具体的解释。
