A SouthAmerican bird that forages for winged termites and other small insects while swinging upside downform the foliage of tall trees, the graveteirobelongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds thatincludes more than 230 species and that arerepresented in virtually every kind of habitat.
bird that 。。。 是做定语修饰bird， 后面得
the graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family  这个是嘛意思嘛，整个句子得主语应该是 graveteiro 谓语是belongs ？ 这样理解对嘛， a group of 是同位语修饰前面得family？ that 应该后面得谓语动词应该用单数，group 强调整体， and 后面与includes 并列， that 可以省去，直接is represented， 牛人们，这样理解对嘛，
A.    graveteirobelongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropicalbirds that includes more than 230 species and that are
B.     graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New Worldtropical birds that includes more than 230 species and  is
C.    graveteirobelongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropicalbirds that include more than 230 species and is
D.    graveteiro,which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds thatincludes more than 230 species and that are
E.     graveteiro,which belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds thatincludes more than 230 species and is

我不清楚意思，但是D,E是fragment，C的include应该用单数，应该对应前面的A group。剩下A和B，还是看同位语的A group和后面的平行，所以要用is。。

我觉得你说的是对的。

graveteiro跟前面的A SouthAmerican bird，是对应的。

a group of 是同位语修饰前面得family

选项  A B C中 that 之前的部分都是相同的，说明that后面有问题
那就比较that后面  A C中 that 后面单复混用
就剩B了

我是不求甚解

A South American bird that forages for winged termites and other small insects while swinging upside downform the foliage of tall trees  这个是absolute phrase。  中文翻译的是独立主格。

独立主格不是一个完整的句子，是由名词及名词modifier组成的，修饰的是整个句子，类似verb modifier 。独立主格一般是由逗号与正文隔开，A South American bird that forages 。。。是由noun（A south American bird）  + noun modifier(that forages….)组成的，这个独立主格不是修饰graveteiro的，而是修饰整句话.


整个句子得主语是 graveteiro,  谓语是belongs

a group of New World tropical birds thatincludes more than 230 species and that arerepresented in virtually every kind of habitat....是修饰前面的family的。  group是集体名词，要用单数。所以that are是错误的。这里that可以省略，直接用单数is就可以

dreamistrue

独立主格表示第二个句子和第一个句子是可以分开的。所以那前面的逗号的那句话其实可以变成一个独立的句子。但是GMAT里不会考你两个带句号的句子放一起，肯定是要把他们变成某种连接，变成一个整体来考你。

不知道LZ还有多久考试，我看最近你经常问语法题，其实你要是有2-3天的时间的话，真心建议你看manhattan语法那本书，几乎你问的所有语法点那本书都解释了，而且解释的很清楚，相信你看了之后这些题都不会再让你困惑了。
