D 是不对的.

The heavily barbed stinger of the honeybee stays where it is inserted,

it 指代不清. it -> honeybee 还是 it-> stinger

z520m

D一定不对，逗号分开要用一句完整的句子，所以D错。D只有动词，要共用一个主语不能有逗号，这个是gmat的官方解释！

是吗？我怎么没听说过呢？

为什么不能用呢？记得有一道GWD就是逗号隔开，并且是没有主语啊？晕了我

C. The honeybee’s stinger, heavily barbed and staying where it is inserted, results in the fact that ....

划线部分是一个非限定修饰，而非限定修饰只表示这个整体的特点（限定修饰是“整体中的局部”概念）；因此此句实际上在说，“所有的”stinger results in the fact that .... 这是荒谬的（句子的主干The honeybee’s stinger results in the fact that .... 不也就在这么说么？）

E. The honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and stays where it is inserted, with the result that ...

", with"结构在句末通常是歧义，因为可以就近修饰也可以修饰主语（谓语）表伴随；however，在本句中，", with"结构只能修饰主语（谓语）表伴随，因此没有歧义。

6楼关于with the result that和result in something 的区别也很有说服力。

Wait for more comments.

C.                The honeybee’s stinger(刺）, heavily barbed and staying where it is inserted, results in the fact that the act of stinging causes  the bee to sustain a fatal injury.       best!!!

D.               The heavily barbed stinger of the honeybee stays where it is inserted, （逗号错）and results in the act of stinging causing  1 逗号多余！！因为主语相同;2 act of sth doing sth.... 不爽，用从句更好。

E.              The honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and staying （明显错）where it is inserted, with the result that the act of stinging causes     

选C

回楼上，题目是“stays”，你的版本有误，请查看原始TS PDF文件。

逻辑大于一切，因此我选E。

I just asked my co-worker who is an American and he chose D.  But I don't think D is the final conclusion, because the format of D might fit the way people would say it, but may still have some grammar errors.

I still prefer E.   As there is not NN to come up with the authorative answer, I will stay with E.

看了这么多NN的讨论，觉得还是逻辑重要，选E了
