请教白勇语法全解上的一道题

snower2516

The fillbuster, a parliamentary device that slows the snail's pace that prevails even in the best of times in congressional sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems more an anachronism in the age of telecommunications.

(A)sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems

(B)sessions and tests the endurance of everyone who is associated with it, seeming to be

答案是A，解释是sessions, tests, seems 是并列结构，但是如果是并列结构，and应该在seems前面吧？

我选的B,但是书上说seeming to be…… 句子缺少谓语，可如果是作为结果的伴随状语呢？

then  the whole sentence will not have a 谓语.

The fillbuster seeming to be...

snower2516

sessions and tests做并列谓语，seeming to be 作伴随状语 这样不行吗？

then Baiyong is definitely wrong.

The correct struction of the sentence is:

The fillbuster seems more an anachronism in the age of telecommunications.
        

"prevails" and "tests" are to modify "pace", "seems" is the only 谓语 of the whole sentence.

我刚刚看了一下白勇的解释，我想并没有解释错，可能是楼主看错了。

具体的解释为：

The filibuster, 同位语，seems more and more ...
a parliamentary device that slows ... and tests ... 作 the filibuster的同位语。

他在排除C选项时用了楼主所解释的动词并列。

同谓语长了一点而已啦
