首先，The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.
这句话里，The single-family house constructed by the Yana  was conical in shape是主句。......shape, its.......中用逗号隔开，而逗号不能连接两个主谓完整的句子，根据题目，its后面是独立主格结构，没有谓语。

可是答案是A啊，还是不懂D哪里错了~

意韵甜心

他刚说的意思就是后面是个独立主格，不能有谓语，你加了was不就是谓语了么~

sandychen168

答案是A没有错啊。在这个独立主格结构里its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.
overlaid 和banked不是谓语，而是代表被动。如果要是这个结构有谓语应该变成its framework of poles was overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and was banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.
而在独立主格结构中没有was，就没有谓语，只留下overlaid和banked表被动，这两个词不是谓语。
