Prep 08上的一道题，有关独立主格

At the annualstockholders meeting, investors heard a presentation on the numerous challengesfacing the company, including among them the threat from a rival’smultibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and the declining sales forthe company’s powerful microprocessor chip.

A.     including among them the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollarpatent-infringement suit and the declining sales for

B.     which includes the threat of a rival’s multibillion-dollarpatent-infringement suit and declining sales of

C.     included among these the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollarpatent-infringement suit as well as a decline in sales for

D.     among them the threat ofa rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and the decline in salesof         (D)

E.     among these the threat from a rival’s multibillion-dollarpatent-infringement suit as well as the decline in sales for

答案是D，解释上说是因为n+ 介词短语的独立主格？想请教下各位大神这个地方怎么用，我总是觉得后面没有谓语很奇怪，想加个【are】， among them 【are】the threat of a rival’s multibillion-dollar patent-infringement suit and the decline in sales of = = 感谢感谢！

Hi Joshua，又见到你。

这里恰如其题目的解释是独立主格来对主句表达的信息进行补充。

独立主格是什么成分呢？其实是状语啊，但是又不是状语从句。那么它只是句子的一个成分，怎么能够出现谓语呢？

那么你不妨吧are加进去看一下好了，划线开始前面是个逗号，前面有完整的主谓结构，是一个句子。划线开始后也有一个完整的主谓，也构成一个句子，那么两个句子之间的链接/间隔就需要连词或者是分号或者是句号了。

所以加上are肯定是不对的

独立主格，或者其他变体的状语，最大的特点就是没有谓语。
具体用法见：

BTW 应该巧用站内搜索呀
