GWD3-Q39:

Minivans carry asmany as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, costless,get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, andhave a smoother ride.

A.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

B.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,

C.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

D.Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

E.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

我看的版本答案是A，也有说D的，我当时选了D。我理解A是：compared with most sport utility vehicles看成插入语，觉得A确实可以。但是不知道D的问题，求问？

是因为一个名词后面不能连续跟两个修饰语么？

求指点！

Ron:
my first complaint about (d) is that it's noticeably awkward, but you'd have to be a native speaker of english to pick up on that.

however, there's a problem of semantics (meaning) with (d). the modifier "...carrying..." seems to signify that the latter traits are only true of minivans when those minivans are actually carrying the requisite number of passengers. if they aren't, then all of a sudden those things aren't true anymore.

我个人的经验
主谓之间有两个或以上修饰语非常容易引起歧义、模糊，并且非常wordy
一般不作为最佳选项

D中compared有做句子谓语动词并列的嫌疑。
