57. The Anasazi settlements at Chaco
      Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.

A. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

B. with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,

C. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had been

D. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

E. of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

正确答案是B,疑问就是of这里离scale这么远，还能修饰它么？我看解释是明白的，但是如果要我做我是无论如何都做不出来正确答案的，nn们说一下你们做这道题的思路呢？谢谢

MM,这一题偶也做错鸟。。。

不过根据意思，up to 600 rooms怎么也不可能修饰structure，自然CDE就会被排除掉。

剩下来的A和B，A中的were明显多余了，前面已经出现了谓语were了，所以只能选B鸟

要我在1分钟里完成，我肯定也错了。。。

不是很懂这道题目，可以麻烦解释一下么？

我最初的理解是 settlements were built (on a scale) with ... structures, (structures) of 600 rooms each, (structures) connected by....  structures做后面每个有600间房子和被...连接的逻辑主语。

看了很久还是不明白这个题目的修饰关系

up up!!!!

快考试了，这prep第一道就把我挣死了，期待NN能帮忙分析一下结构！！！

 The settlements were built on a spectacular scale with structures (of up to 600 rooms each)  connected by .....

Does the sentence look simple now? The red words can be omitted.

贴个nn地解释，看到后自己就保存下来了，

我对这道题目有不同的解释。我总觉得如果of... 也用来修饰scale的话就应该和with短语并列，那并列为什么不用and连接而用逗号呢，这是并列的大忌啊。我觉得B选项是一个标准的独立主格，of 用来修饰settlements.只是语序改了一下
        应该是each of (settlements) up to 600 rooms. 为什么要倒装呢？
        原因是connected那个分词短语。
        分词短语放在句尾只能用来修饰前面的名词，所以不得不把each后置用connected来修饰，表示每个settlement间用啥啥连接。不知道这样
        理解对否～

多谢chasedreamtrue mm，我今天也找到了这个解释，和我想的差不多。

mbz 大侠：

你认为of up to 600 rooms each是修饰structures的吗？如果是这样，那connected就也是说structures的了，可是structures怎么可能connected by roads？所以我觉得of up...each是修饰settlements的。请指教！

Yes, MBZ is right. The structures are connected, the rooms can not be.

Think about it logically, if there are 75 structures, each has 500 rooms. Can each room be connected by roads? Nope because rooms are inside each building.

我又看了下题，竟然发现structure有建筑物的意思！！太大意了我，原来只知道有结构的意思。。如果是建筑物，那of up to 600 rooms each和connected都修饰它是完全正确的，谢谢马甲gg~~~

明白啦，真开心！
