95.(29661-!-item-!-188;#058&003962)

Unlike frogs that metamorphose from tadpoles into adults within a one-year period, it takes three to four years for the mountain yellow-legged frog of the Sierra Nevada to reach adulthood, and so they are restricted to deeper bodies of water that do not dry up in summer or freeze solid in winter.

(A) it takes three to four years for the mountain yellow-legged frog of the Sierra Nevada to reach adulthood, and so they are

(B) it takes the mountain yellow-legged frog of the Sierra Nevada three to four years until it reaches adulthood, and therefore it is

(C) in the Sierra Nevada, mountain yellow-legged tree frogs take three to four years to reach adulthood, thus being

(D) mountain yellow-legged frogs of the Sierra Nevada take three to four years until they reach adulthood, thus

(E) mountain yellow-legged frogs of the Sierra Nevada take three to four years to reach adulthood, and so they are
正确答案为E
Q1：D选项中的疑问：
       prep语法笔记写道：用过去分词（指restricted）作伴随状语逻辑意思错误，这两个动作不同时发生，而是存在因果关系。
      对于这个解释我不太明白，D中的thus不是就表达出了因果关系？
Q2：D选项中的另一个疑问：
      “，done”结构中的done修饰句子中的主语还是宾语？还是需要根据意思具体问题具体分析（就如同 “A of B, which”  中which修饰谁一样）？
希望大牛不嫌弃我的问题，能够给予解答，谢谢！

-ed形式通常就近修饰名词，而且不管有没有逗号只做定语。
Thus是副词，不是连词，就算是连词也不对，不能把句子和fragment连接

restricted这里就近修饰adulthood
Noun-Modifier should follow the TOUCH RULE!

关于Prep笔记中说【dong做状语】，我不敢苟同

Manhattan没有在Verb-modifiers中列举过去分词，只在Noun Modifier里面说-ed修饰名词作定语

谢谢谢谢,太感谢了~又给了我完美的解答~~

九尾

就如同 “A of B, which”  中which修饰谁一样？
这个我也不知道啊 同问
BTW, manhattan上conjunction和connecting words 是同一概念吗@MiaZhang 啊啊

MiaZhang

Noun-Modifier must follow the TOUCH RULE!
BUT
有一些例外
Manhattan明确列出来的例外，就有of-phrase这种情况，这个时候Noun-Modifier是可以跳过of-Phrase修饰核心词的

我目前看到的，跳跃修饰大部分发生在定语从句，而且有的题跳的很厉害。不过Prep语法笔记说跳跃修饰并不好。

嗯，还是具体题目具体分析吧。

这个题里面， until they reach adulthood是一个分句了，后面serving只能修饰adulthood

conjunction和connecting words 没有什么区别吧。。。就是连词。。。只要后面引导的是完整的主谓宾的，都是连词
