New York Times 上的原句：

Mini-vans carry as many as seven passengers, and compared with sport utilities most are cheaper, get better gas mileage, are easier to get in and out of and have a smoother, more carlike ride.

争了3年多的题目,居然败在一个逗号上面,唉, 管同志的打字员也忒.....

看来这个争议题可以画上圆满的句号了, 也不枉我从头看到底啊

似乎支持了D。 原句中逗号在and前，表示前后的谓语是并列关系，compared 修饰后面的诸谓语。

A 中：

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.

逗号在and后面，campared with 修饰到下一个and前的诸谓语，与要表达的意思不同。

D 干脆舍弃了这种用法。

建议此帖改为投票帖，定性的足够了，该用定量的方式来个了断 over

me vote for A, because by logic it is divided into 2 parts: carry and (compared with SUV)less..better...smoother....; And, the construction of "...,carrying...,compared...." in D is awkward!

今天又重头到尾看了一遍

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.
D. Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

偶还是深深同意LES的观点（即使这里NYtimes 把逗号逗在and前面）

总之这里从逻辑上还是语法上，都是A》》D 因为：

1。carry与compare用and来并列，明确表示这里有两层意思，而D把原句的谓语变成了分词，明显属于GMAT里面说的改变句子重心

2。OG、大全里面多次出现类似的长句子， 考我们状语的位置如何排列， 大多数的解决之道是先出现分词（做伴随状语），然后马上出现分词的主语， 再出现谓语。

从来没有过像D的把两个分词放在一起的(除了Tony大牛举的大全877 的例子)

3。Tony大牛举的大全877 的例子，说In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.这两个分词连用，但注意了，这两个分词是连用的，中间没有逗号,所以这两个分词的修饰没有问题，都是做状语修饰主谓

但是D里面Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, 两者用逗号分开，搞不清楚到底是做状语还是定语

4。NYtimes找到了原句，虽然与A还是有区别（逗号逗在and前面），我觉得A这个结构仍然是可以接受的，正如大牛们所说的：

A：大并列里套小并列
Minivans [carry as many as seven passengers ]and , compared with most sport utility vehicles,(插入语)  [cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.]
