There are several ways to build solid walls using just mud or clay, but the most extensively used method has been the forming of bricks out of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid in the wall in mud mortar.

A.      the forming of bricks out of mud or clay, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, they are laid

B.       forming the mud or clay into bricks, and, after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, to lay them

C.      having bricks formed from mud or clay, and after some preliminary air drying or sun drying , they were laid

D.      to form the mud or clay into bricks, and , after some preliminary air drying or sun drying, to lay them

E.       that bricks were formed from mud or clay, which, after some preliminary airy drying or sun drying, were laid

我选的A totally不明白D的用法，完了 快绕死了，怎么都不能理解method have been to这是什么用法啊？？

要说固定搭配的话 不也是method of/for吗？
method to do是错误搭配呢

而且看不出来平行

lz别急，这题只是一个固定用法
凡是a way/goal/method...都是加to do

这里D很平行啊 to form...and to lay...
而且和前面的to build...平行

有一个经典句型楼主记住就行
to do... is the best way to do...

AmyGMAT

method of/for (doing) something, method to do不好
这是大全227题给出的注释
我也记得是这个样子 method to do好像没有这种固定搭配啊
都是method of/for

weirui你看呢？
我也是一是看不出来平行 而是觉得没有method to do这个固定搭配就排除了D

印象之中这是个OG12上的题目，不过不敢肯定，不过OG12里肯定有这个to do... is to do...的用法，
这里不是the method to do,而是 the method is to do，要和后面平行也是一个考点

楼主可以查查OG12,若果有的话，肯定会看到用的就是to do...我印象更深了，就是OG里的，因为当时像楼主一样拿不准
