这样一句话:
Scientists have found high levels of iridium in certain geological formations around the world, results that suggest the cataclysmic impact of a meteor millions of years ago.
其中results that suggest the cataclysmic impact of a meteor millions of years ago 是独立主格还是同位语啊? 我怎么觉得结构上都可以啊?
看看这个:相同点
结构相同,都是SVO+ comma or dash+(Prep)+ Noun + noun modifier
不同点
appositive:
COMMA + CONCRETE NOUN usually stands for the DIRECTLY PRECEDING NOUN.
absolute phrase:
COMMA + ABSTRACT NOUN is allowed to stand for the ENTIRE IDEA OF THE PRECEDING CLAUSE.。

here, "a consultant" (a CONCRETE noun) refers ONLY to "john smith" (the preceding noun).

赞一个!终于把这题弄明白了
例:OG10-39 For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa, animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment, a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears.
A. a method to protect
B. as a method protecting
C. protecting
D. as a protection of
E. to protect
A:这样a method 若果做同位语会紧邻military equipment,修饰它,不对
如果作为独立主格修饰nimal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment这整句话显然也是不对的
