I think D is better, though initially I chose A.

SC 987 has an example:

1.        Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.

(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only

(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed

(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed（C）

(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

这道题选A，不能选D

D错在compared不能放在句子中间用逗号隔起来进行修饰，会引起歧义，因为可以修饰临近的词语passengers。

A正确，因为分词前面有一个and和逗号，后面有一个逗号，表示分词作为插入语修饰and后面动词的逻辑主语，即Minivans

must be D.

D is not be perfect one but the best one in the basket.

A has a grammer fallacy, which is easier to be found by removing the parenthesis.

做题的时候选的A, 看了答案分析了一下还是觉得D对.

并列的各部分应该是这样的, A, B, C, D AND E. 但是A中却是A AND B, C, D AND E.

A中间的第一个AND是硬伤.

D中很难说CARRYING AS MANY AS SEVEN PASSENGERS和后边的部分是什么逻辑关系, 肯定不是因果关系,可以前牵强的理解成伴随关系. 很难说有必要把它和后边的几个并列部分分成两个层次. 但是分了也没有错, 所以我觉得D对.

讨论太长了，没耐心看完，说说偶的看法

这题肯定选A

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.

, compared with most sport utility vehicles  插入语，前面说一方面性能（载客量），后面说另外的性能compared with  正是强调对比与其他车的不同（所以后面都用比较级表示更优越），所以第一个and也是合理的。

D选项，如果把compared with most sport utility vehicles当作过去分词短语修饰主语Minivans，则必须有连词and和同为修饰助于的现在分词短语并列，否则，就近修饰passengers，造成歧义；

              如果理解成为谓语动词跟后面几个动词并列，则时态和逻辑意思都不合理。

本人拙见，欢迎批评指正。

那么我就坚持我的A吧，哈哈，

我觉得是a，结果为do1 and do2, do3, do4,其中do4用and连接算一个成分，因为后面的have a smoother ride跟前面的get in and out more easily 是平行的都是修饰passengers而不是minivans

A. 用and表示并列嵌套在OG中有过结论。同时OG明确指出 n,ving, ved ，v结构awkward。
