以下是引用LES在2004-6-29 10:33:00的发言：
这样改了倒是绝对错误的！！！

do you think this is right?

Minivans carry... and cost... , get..., allow... , and have...

Oh, my God! 说了N遍了，偶理解的不是这个结构！！！

compared这里是过去分词，做状语，不是什么动词的一般过去式！！！

lucre

compared with most sport utility vehicles是状语没错

但是，“and,”是用来连接“carry”和“cost”的，和状语无关。

你还是参考偶在46楼里说的方法到大全里去搜索一下类似的用法吧！

再说最后一句，这种结构是：大并列里套小并列。

吃饭去了。

觉得Les mm举的例子不具代表性，只能够说明V1 and V2的结构是对的，我想这点大家都承认。但是不能说明V1 and V2, V3, V4 and V5这样的结构也是对的。

总结一下双方的观点，A错在V1平行的层次不清，究竟V1和后面4个平行，还是V1和V2平行不能确定。D的问题在于compared的修饰不清，究竟是Minivans还是passengers，不能确定。

改错的答案是比出来的，所以大家没必要去攻击另一个选项的错误，因为都有错。问题是在于，哪一个是ETS能够容忍的，哪一个是不能容忍的。

我选D, 因为我觉得分词短语修饰不清的问题是可以容忍的。

同样有个例子，也是GWD的。

Q30:
The ancient Anasazi harvested such native desert vegetation as the purple-flowered bee plant, what they now commonly call wild spinach in northern Arizona and other parts of the southwestern United States.

A. what they now commonly call
B. a plant that they now commonly call
C. now commonly called
D. and is mow commonly called
E. which it is now commonly called

这个例子可能不太好，因为也有争议性。不过大多数人选C. 因为B里犯的错误是they指代了ancient Anasazi, 所以分词修饰不清的错误就是可容忍的。

所以，我认为本题应该选D.

正好又看到一个例子，大全里的。

           Believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit low-frequency sounds that may be used as a secret language to communicate with other members of the herd.

(A) Believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, elephants emit low-frequency sounds that may be used

(B) Elephants emit low-frequency sounds that are believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, and they may use this

(C) Elephants emit low-frequency sounds, believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use

(D) Originating, it is believed, from a small area on their foreheads; elephants emit low-frequency sounds they may use（C）

(E) Originating, it is believed, from a small area on their foreheads, low-frequency sounds are emitted by elephants that may be used

选项C中也有分词修饰对象不清的情况，说明ETS能够容忍这个错误。

LES

请问rhod，这个例子里哪里有修饰对象不清的情况？

rhod

从纯粹语法角度，说believed分词短语可以修饰sounds，也可以修饰elephants.

3-39, I choose A.

D中的2重分词结构修饰，偶在GMAT好像没有看到，而A and, XX, B,却常常是正确答案的标志

楼上的例题：(D) Originating, it is believed, from a small area on their foreheads; elephants emit low-frequency sounds they may use

it is believed, 是插入语，这个例子里面没有修饰对象不清的情况
