E.covered as much as 90 percent of Thailand and accommodating as many as 300,000 elephants, with a third of them

答案是 D

为什么不选E呢？同位语和独立主格结构在句子功能上有什么区别呢？已查过以前贴，未讨论过相关问题。

lsMM , 你再看看E有个严重错误

covered as much as 90 percent of Thailand and accommodating as

这2个部分是绝对不能平行的呀， 这个题目的考点就是平行。

不好意思，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……

其实这里你不提我还是专门注意了一下，我当时的理解是forests可以被cover但是怎么被accomodated（容纳)呢，这里对accomodate的用法还有疑问……

森林covered…… and accommodated…大象为何不可咧???

后面的a third of them同位语的部份是指1\3的大象

MM , 你看accomodate 的意思和这个例子差不多

1
[transitive] if a room, building etc can accommodate a particular number of people or things, it has enough space for them
He bought a huge house to accommodate his library.

The ballroom can accommodate 400 people.

另外MM这个题目可以这么记，

many of them / a third of them 这种结构也是GMAT常考的，可以把它当成独立主格结构来看

另外你问得同位语和独立主格的用法，PREP-注释有， 你去查查，那个写的很好了

是容纳而不是被容纳。 就是森林容纳了大象，而不是森林被容纳了大象。
