After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source and supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.(A) After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source and supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
(B) Natural gas, after crude oil the United States second biggest fuel source, supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
(C) Being supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America, natural gas, the United States second biggest fuel source after crude oil.
(D) Natural gas, the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil, is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.
(E) Natural gas is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America, being the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil.

答案是D，请问A为何不好？

谢谢。

A 的and 后应该变成 is supplied，同时从逻辑意思上理解[After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source] 跟 [supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America]才是并列，也就是说After crude oil不修饰supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America。

A中从逻辑意义上讲是不平行的，而且and后面的is是不是不能够被省略呢？joywzy，你说呢？

大全的答案是D

但D显然有歧义:

Natural gas,  the United States’ second biggest fuel source after crude oil ....(D) 既可以理解为 "天然气作为美国第二大燃料资源,紧随原油";  也可以理解为"排在原油之后有很多能源, 天然气列第二 ", 也就是说天然气是美国第三大能源, 这种句意歧义, ETS是不可能忽视的, 所以它甚至可以成为排除D的原因.

不仅如此, D的主干-- Natural gas is supplied....这个被动的主语是什么呢? 根本没有. 很显然, 资源只能是be supplied for sth./sb.

这里仅仅是"天然气提供了什么..." 而不是天然气被提供给谁, 或者天然气被谁提供.

After crude oil, natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel source (A) 避免了这种歧义, 同时, 也暗示着
        

crude oil also supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.

一个句意并列:  Natual gas is...and did.....

A肯定不对，supplied前省略的is和is the United States...

两个is的功能不同，当然不能省略

gas只能被供应，当不知道发出动作的主体是谁时，使用被动语态能很好的回避主体问题

同意这个看法，D的逻辑关系好像有点问题，原来的意思是natural gas after crude oil, 而D的意思是fuel source after crude oil. 但是A也有疑问, 就是be ... and be done，第二个be是不是可以省略? 我做题的时候比较了二者，从可能的逻辑错误除非把D排除了.

请赐教！！！
