把中间researcher那个部分直接去掉就好啦，那个是插入语，没有什么意义就直接去掉当他不存在。。。有点像 who do you think is the tallest in our class? 其实这个句子就是who is the tallest in our class? do you think就是做插入语，GMAT里面还有一些这样的题目。。。

A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place, researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.
A.tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if
B.they tend not to bother recovering a perishable treat
C.tending not to bother recovering a perishable treat if
D.tends not to bother recovering a perishable treat
E.tends not bothering to recover a perishable treat if
我一开始认为tend和tends不是排除的点，觉得can remember, (can) tend是平行的，所以用if来排除了A，if后边的内容修饰的是主语A scrub jay,比如：I can beat gmat if given enough time. 这里if修饰的I不是gmat .所以A的意思很搞笑。
不过再读一遍我发现can tend这个说法很别扭，能够倾向于？ sounds not good.

求解～我看manhattan语法讲解上面说不能comma to separate 2 verbs that have the same object. 所以我直接 ...

确实是两个共同的主语的平行句子and前不能加逗号的，但这个researchers have discovered是插入语，必须要用逗号隔开，但是从句意上来说，两个句子主语都是 a scrub jay, 所以共用主语。Manhattan也一直强调逻辑>语法结构的。

“Because tend is also an auxiliary verb in this sentence:

A scrub jay CAN REMEMBER X
and
A scrub jay TENDS NOT TO BOTHER Y.

Idiomatically, you wouldn't say that X can tend not to do something.
Can = able to
Tend to = inclined to

The only time you'd want to combine those things is if you are something is able to be inclined to do something:

Dogs can tend to be loud.”

if 不对的原因是 if stored long enough是一个状语， 省略了主语，所以默认主句主语就是就是状语的主语，所以还原是if a scrub Jay be
stored，这样的话语义是错误的，所以a是错误的

A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place, researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.很简单那个吧researcher have discovered 放在句首就可以了，研究人员发现a scrub jay can...and tends to
