The hognose snake puts on an impressive bluff, hissing and rearing back, broadens the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does, feigning repeated strikes, but, having no dangerous fangs and no venom, eventually, if its pursuer is not cowed by the performance, will fall over and play dead.

(A) broadens the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does, feigning repeated strikes, but, having no dangerous fangs and no venom,
(B) broadens the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigns repeated strikes, but with no dangerous fangs and no venom,
(C) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigning repeated strikes, but it has no dangerous fangs and no venom, and
(D) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does and feigns repeated strikes, but with no dangerous fangs and no venom, and
(E) broadening the flesh behind its head the way a cobra does, feigning repeated strikes, but with no dangerous fangs and no venom, and

我真是个纠结的人，我知道从意思上理解，c是正确的选项，可是，我觉得C中，hissing and rearing ,broadening and feigning ,+but+条件从句

A and B, C and D, 怎么可以这么个平行发呢？

AB之间是个小平行
[（A+B）+C+D]
大概是这意思

fannybeibei

谢谢miller了呀，  我也怀疑A,B之间应该是个更小些的平行
可这样还是不对呀，hissing XXX ,broadening and feigning
A, B and C 就变成这么个顺序了呀。。。这个平行从没看到过呀。。。
我觉得要么A, and B and C，链接两部分
要么A, B, and C,可上面都不是呀。。。

继续求解

miller811

A,B and C 这个平行结构有问题吗？

我把曼哈顿的解释贴给你
It should be C. This choice has better parallelism than does choice E, and is phrased in a way that makes MUCH more sense. Choice E, while not strictly ungrammatical, is a 'garden path sentence' - one that reads incorrectly the first couple of times your eyes run over it, and that only makes sense if you go back and read it several more times.

恩。。。谢谢miller找解释了，我觉得曼哈顿论坛的意思是，在平行上，C读第一遍就可以明白意思了，然而E的A, B,C 这个平行要读很多遍再能看懂，所以E不对

这样这题我是能接受了，可是在别的题里A,B and C 这个平行结构可以认为没有错而该选么？毕竟这个A, B and C 我真是第一次看到对呀。。。

我果然纠结。。。。。。。。。。。。

我做这题时候，也觉得有些问题，从OG来看，三个以上成分并列，最后一个必须要加, and，否则就是有问题的。

猜测，如果按照 (hissing and rearing) , (broadening and feigning)，这样两个意群来理解是否可以？
hissing与rearing关联，broadening与feigning关联，分词形式做后置定语，并列修饰snake ?

LZ可以参考这段讨论：

把hissing & rearing作为插入语成分，broadening与feigning并列，就不存在A, B, and C并列的问题

但我有个小疑问就是为啥hissing & rearing能被看成是插入语成分......就因为前后有逗号么？

感谢stan啦～～
我是这么看的哦～
1。如果按照 (hissing and rearing) , (broadening and feigning)，这样两个意群来理解是否可以？

那么就是  动词，v-ing（A), v-ing(B)
我觉得这样A, B两个无端端并列好像还是有问题啊。。。

2.把hissing & rearing作为插入语成分，broadening与feigning并列，就不存在A, B, and C并列的问题

对哦，是的哦～

3.但我有个小疑问就是为啥hissing & rearing能被看成是插入语成分......就因为前后有逗号么？


我以为这个要看意思的，试着翻译：
发出嘶嘶声并且后退，张开两侧的flesh和假装要进攻

咿呀～我觉得这几个动作地位等价啊。。。。。我也不知道为什么可以是插入语

thanks again for your smart post, stan
