在十字路口  有waves of 自动贩卖机, 好奇怪!!

赞成!

VENDOR:SOMEONE WHO SELLS THINGS.郎文辞典是这样解释的。所以many of them chilren是vendors and beggers的同位语，who作非限制性定语从句修饰chilren.

另外，定语从句中主+系即that+be/which+be为了简洁，应尽量省！

vendor 应该还是小贩的意思

自动贩卖机是vendor machine

i can not understand why is a phenomenon visible. why not a visible phenomenon? 形容词短语( visible at Managua’s major intersections )做定语后置, 不可单独提前visible ,如果都提前修饰语序有误

以下是引用colacat在2005-2-25 23:37:00的发言：

choice C :  A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who mob cars at the stoplights.

的结构是 a new phenomenon +形容词短语做定语+ is waves of verdors and beggars,同位语修饰beggars, + who引导的非限制性定语从句修饰 children.

有两点不同意，第一，vendors指小商贩而不是自动售货机（美国也没有一建国就有自动售货机啊），第二，who修饰的是 vendors and beggars，而不是children。

many of them children 是独立主格(相当于一非限定性定语从句many of whom are children), 补充说明vendors and beggars(vendors 当然指人啦, 机器怎能在路口呢!)

who从句修饰children

I agree.

who从句修饰children? If that was the case, the sentence should be written as something like,

"... waves of vendors and beggars, many of whom are children that mob cars at the stoplights."

Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements, as in "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down." By "parenthetical element," we mean a part of a sentence that can be removed without changing the essential meaning of that sentence. The parenthetical element is sometimes called "added information." This is the most difficult rule in punctuation because it is sometimes unclear what is "added" or "parenthetical" and what is essential to the meaning of a sentence.

我觉得这个题最痛苦的就是要理解 waves of .... 可以作为一种现象(单数), 把这点想通了, 整体一读, C 就是最顺的了.

好题, 感谢楼主!
