1.Margaret Courtney-Clarke has traveled to remote dwellings in the Transvaal to photograph the art of Ndebele women, whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography and in a style that varies from woman to woman and house to house.

A.whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography and in a style that varies from woman to woman and house to house.
B.whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries are embellished with old and new iconography, and their style is varying among women and house.
C.whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries are embellished with old and new iconography, and they are in styles that vary from woman to woman and from house to house.
D.with murals brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography, and their style varies among women and houses.
E.with murals that are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography, and their styles vary among women and houses.
正确答案是A
我觉得通过排除法能勉强选出A，因为其它选项都有更大的问题，但我有这样几个疑问
第一，A种后面一个并列连词and，这个and是并列谁的呢？按照句意，应该是并列这样两项的，“their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography”，以及“in a style that varies from woman to woman and house to house”，第一项的中心词是“symmetries”，第二项的中心词是“in a style”，是个介宾结构，并列不是要求平行吗？名词能和介宾结构平行吗？
第二，按说如果句中出现代词，要考察只带是否明确，在这五个选项中，都有代词“they/their”, 那么为是代词指代清晰，据中影只有一个复数名词才好，可句中既有“women”, 又有“murals”，这不是就指代不清了吗？
2.Tiny quantities of more than thirty rare gases, most of them industrial by-products, threaten to warm the Earth’s atmosphere even more rapidly than carbon dioxide during the next fifty years.

A.to warm the Earth’s atmosphere even more rapidly than carbon dioxide during the next fifty years
B.to warm the Earth’s atmosphere even more rapidly over the next fifty years than carbon dioxide will
正确答案是B，不过我觉得A也没有问题啊，先来分析它们两者的区别
第一，B补了助动词，A没有补，可是主语间比较时，如果不产生歧义，助动词可补可不补，就算补了表意更明确吧，那也只是相对性错误，也不是判断他错的理由啊
第二，A用了during, B用的是over，我认真地查了一下，这两个应该是都可以的，所以这也不是理由
第三，“over/during the next fifty years”的位置换了一下，可是那只是个时间状语，放哪里都说得通的
那么到底是为什么呢？

第2题：Tiny quantities of more than thirty rare gases, most of them industrial by products, threaten to warm the Earth’s atmosphere even more rapidly than carbon dioxide during the next fifty years.
全句没有谓语

笨蛋加油

第一题，with old and new iconography 和in a style 平行
embellishvt.
1. 装饰，修饰，布置，美化，使生色(with):
The leather cover of the new dictionary was embellished with gold letters.

这部新词典皮革封面上装饰着金字。

2. 给(乐曲等)缀以装饰音、切分音、颤音等
3. 给(故事、叙述等)添加细节；润色(图画、文章等)，给…润色；对…加以宣扬，发挥：
to embellish a story with details

给故事添加细节

The events of the leader's life were heavily embellished by his biographers.

领袖的生平事迹已被传记作家们添枝加叶地大加渲染

笨蛋加油

关于指代问题，只要能清晰的辨别逻辑意思就不算错。看后面的修饰，按逻辑意思肯定murals的geometrical symmetries ，而不可能是人的。

第2题：Tiny quantities of more than thirty rare gases, most of them industrial by products, threaten to warm the Earth’s atmosphere even more rapidly than carbon dioxide during the next fifty years.
全句没有谓语

我查了一下，threaten是可以当动词用的啊，也就是说是有谓语的，并且，如果您说A是因为没有谓语才错的，那正确选项B不没有谓语了吗，您是说提有问题吗？

ptlove4ever

啊哦，搞错了……threaten是威胁的意思，居然看成了过去分词。抱歉！
第三，“over/during the next fifty years”的位置换了一下，可是那只是个时间状语，放哪里都说得通的
这句话不对，时间状语不是放在哪里都说得通，变换了位置就有可能引发歧义，见12版OG SC 7中C与E的区别和讲解
