5. Diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.

(A) ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only

(B) rank as the nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed（主谓一致，状语位置）

(C) has the rank of the nation's third leading cause of death, only surpassed（wordy，动词优于名词，状语位置）(D) are the nation's third leading causes of death, surpassed only（主谓一致，）

(E) have been ranked as the nation's third leading causes of death, only surpassed（主谓一致，时态不对，状语位置不对）
这道题正确答案选A 没有问题，但是想要问下这里surpassed 做什么成分，过去分词在句尾应该作为定语修饰前面的名词但在这里好像解释不通

这里应该就近修饰的是leading cause of death 仅次于心脏病和癌症的应该是diabetes才对，这边过去分词修饰了diabetes（主语） 这就是我疑惑的地方
