The federal immigration station on Ellis Island, which was first opened in 1892, then rebuilt in 1900,
processing nearly three quarters of all immigrants entering the United States in the first quarter of
the twentieth century.

(A) The federal immigration station on Ellis Island, which was first opened in 1892, then rebuilt in
1900, processing nearly three quarters of all immigrants entering the United States in the first
quarter of the twentieth century.
(B) Having processed nearly three quarters of all immigrants who enter the United States in the first
quarter of the twentieth century, the federal immigration station on Ellis Island first opened in 1892
and then was rebuilt in 1900.
(C) Processing nearly three quarters of all immigrants to enter the United States in the first quarter
of the twentieth century, the federal immigration station on Ellis Island first opened in 1892, being
rebuilt in 1900.
(D) First opened in 1892, then rebuilt in 1900, the federal immigration station on Ellis Island
processed nearly three quarters of all immigrants entering the United States in the first quarter of
the twentieth century.
(E) Of all immigrants to enter the United States in the first quarter of the twentieth century, the
federal immigration station on Ellis Island processed nearly three quarters of them, having first
opened in 1892 and rebuilt in 1900.
答案是D，知道其他答案的错误之处，但正确答案中First opened in 1892, then rebuilt in 1900中间不需要用and连接，共同做状语修饰the federal immigration station吗？then是副词，不是连词啊？可以这么直接用吗？

想问下这题D中open的用法，"First opened in 1892"过去分词做修饰语，还原就是the federal immigration station was opened in 1892,这里open为什么要用被动呀？

接着，B是错在逻辑语意还是open的用法呢？

求解答~

因为the federal immigration station 和 open是被动关系， B应该改为the federal immigration station on Ellis Island first was opened in 1892and then was rebuilt in 1900.

我只是觉得the federal station被open有点奇怪~
E里的First opened in 1892, then rebuilt in 1900肯定都是修饰the federal station了，解释的话可以见旧帖：

D的，不是E的，打错了

federal station 肯定不能主动open呐，是别人open 它嘛。
D，正确。。我觉得虽然两个共同修饰主语的状语放在一起容易引起歧义，但这里俩状语很短不会引起歧义。
