求助OG2019 228题（题号偏前，难度较低）

228. The completion in 1925 of the Holland Tunnel,
linking Manhattan with New Jersey's highways, which
permitted 2,000 cars to pass through each tube
every hour and was hailed as the decade's $48 million
engineering masterpiece.
(Al Tunnel, linking Manhattan with New Jersey's
highways, which permitted 2,000 cars to pass
through each tube every hour and
(Bl Tunnel, linking Manhattan with New Jersey's
highways and permitting 2,000 cars to pass
through each tube every hour, it
(Cl Tunnel, linking Manhattan with New Jersey's
highways and permitting 2,000 cars to pass
through each tube every hour,
(Dl Tunnel linked Manhattan with New Jersey's
highways, which permitted 2,000 cars to pass
through each tube every hour and
(El Tunnel linked Manhattan with New Jersey's
highways, permitting 2,000 cars to pass through
each tube every hour,


正确答案是C，但是如果选C的话，句子不就变成了 the completion was hailed as a masterpiece了吗？正常来说应该是桥是masterpiece吧？我选的是B，虽然知道B有代词问题，但C从meaning上来说有偏差。烦请各位大牛指教。。。

以下是官方解释：
B The participial phrases linking . . . highways
and permitting . .. hour are parallel and
coordinated by and. This portion is correct
and describes two characteristics of the
tunnel. However, the addition of the
pronoun it makes what precedes it into
a mere sentence fragment, so there is no
properly grammatical sentence here.

C Correct. The complex phrase linking . . .
hour correctly exhibits parallelism between
two participial phrases and modifies the
Holland Tunnel. The phrase functions
parenthetically, and the sentence as a whole
has a coherent grammatical structure.

个人觉得没问题
你可以说一个concrete noun 是masterpiece  比如画，雕塑
也可以说 abstract noun是masterpiece  比如思想，构思，雄辩

主要是如果选B，那前面半句，“The completion.......each tube every hour” 根本不是个独立的句子，是个fragment, 而你后面再用it, 相当于前面那句没说完，又开启了一个新的句子，所以这不仅是代词的问题，而是语法层面的问题，首先排除了。

我觉得楼主的点蛮好的，感觉completition 做主语怪怪得，不过平行大过语意，其他都是有语法错误的，只能选c了；或者可以理解为完成这个tunnel是一个壮举？杰作？

做这个题的思路：
1. 先阅读题干，大概对句意有个概念，关注句子结构，发现划线部分之外有一个主语the completion和一个谓语was hailed
2. 对比5个选项，寻找差异点，提炼考点：1）首先关注首字母，本题中5个选项首字母相同，证明没有考点，首字母后是否有“,”有差异，有可能考句子结构；2）核心差异点在link和permit的形式，linking是伴随状语，permitting也是伴随状语，which permitted and与后面was hailed并列，是修饰which前面名词的定语从句，linked是直接做了句子谓语动词；3）仔细对比5个选项，A选项一个伴随状语一个定语从句，全句无谓语动词，错，B选项两个伴随状语，之后出现了it，形成了2个主语，fragment，错，C选项两个伴随状语，主语和后面的动词无缝连接，句子结构完整，保留，D选项主语与linked形成了完整的一句，后面which引导的定语修饰New Jersey's highways，句子结构正确，保留，E选项linked和后面was hailed之间并没有并列连词，run-on sentence，错；
3.对比C\D，从语义的角度，permit和was hailed的逻辑主语应该是completion of...，而不是New Jersey's highways，所以D错，C对；
4.将C带入验证，原句通顺，正确。

其他几个都选不了，严重的句子结构缺陷。虽然比起说tunnel本身是masterpiece，说tunnel的完成是masterpiece意思差了点，但并不是不可饶恕的。gmat的题不是完美的，不必过分在意。move on
