Many of the earliest known images of Hindu deities in India date from the time of the Kushan empire, fashioned either from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or Gandharan grey schist.

A. empire, fashioned either from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or

B.empire, fashioned from either the spotted sandstone of Mathura or from

C.empire, either fashioned from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or

D.empire and either fashioned from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or from

E empire and were fashioned either from the spotted sandstone of Mathura or from

这题的答案是E. 通过either...or...的正确搭配来排除ABCD项就可以直接选出E了. 但是E项的时态还是有些奇怪:

这句的主干是: ...images...date from... and were fashioned....

前面一个动词date是用的一般现在时, 后面却用了一般过去时. 时态不平行, 这样也可以吗?

谢谢.

是可以的，因为date（确定时代）是发生在现在的事情，fashioned指的是IMAGES曾经流行过，用一般现在时就错了。这里并不存在平行结构，平行结构一般有连接词，比如and, but之类的

还是有点不明白....E项正好有and这个连接词. 我也就是看到这个词, 才认定是平行结构的....

举个例子，He is a Chinese, and went to US two years ago。不能说存在什么并列问题吧。
