答案是A,A不是破坏后面and的平行，d为什么不对

lwtianliang

A没有破坏后面的平行，他是carry, cost, get, allow和have平行，compared是插入语

cate88cn

A没有破坏后面的平行，他是carry, cost, get, allow和have平行，compared是插入语

那么这边carry后面已经有一个and了，最后还有一个and是怎么回事啊

Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.
这其实是两个句子
第一句：Minivans carry as many as seven passengers
第二句：Compared with most sport utility vehicles, minivans(补出的主语） cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

为什么这是两个句子呢？
因为第一句是陈述事实，而第二句是和别的比较，GMAT考逻辑啊逻辑！！！

然后把两句并起来，Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, minivans(补出的主语） cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.
这时前后两个句子的主语一样，于是省略第二个主语。

PS，如果前后并列是系动词的话系动词也要省略
