求教一个问题，og13 137题 平行并列问题

我理解楼主的意思，我也是做题时候发现，逗号+but/and是不一定连接独立的句子，只要前后平行即可了。

加不加逗号都可以。
often, the comma will be omitted when there are two complete clauses -- if those clauses are short enough to render the comma unnecessary.
also -- again quite often -- a comma will be included even if the structures are not complete clauses, especially if the structures are long enough to make the sentence essentially unreadable without the comma.
for instance:
i shut the windows and locked the doors --> this sentence doesn't need any additional punctuation.
i shut the windows so firmly that i would later have trouble opening them, and locked the doors using both the standard locks and the deadbolts --> these are not complete clauses, but the sentence is still written with the comma, because it's absolutely unreadable without the comma (try it yourself).

MOST IMPORTANTLY
PUNCTUATION IS NOT TESTED ON THIS EXAM!

附上这段话，以便有后面的同学看。

对于正确的C选项，but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status。我想问一下大家，it指代是指代composer还是谁呢？看国外的网站，ron说指代composer's reputation. 但是我不太理解为什么是指代reputation，谢谢大家。

此题，but + whose从句，是正确的。
又例如 he said that A... and that B...   这里and连接两个that从句也 ...

同意！

这里的its没有模糊性吗？
