OG 11th 39

[黃婉君]

請問一下各位高手
39.
Scientist have recently discovered that could be the largest and oldest living organism on earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mashrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

a) extending
b) extends
c) extended
d) it extended
e) is extending

答案是 a )extending
OG 說 spawned and extending in a correct parallel costruction
Spawned ...happended in the past
extending ....continuesinto the present
Spawned extending 時態不同 為何說是平行呢?
這句有兩個 and
and 連接哪些名詞?
這提是有哪些字被省略了?

連接詞平衡的是結構(詞性),不是時態.

第一個 and 平衡兩個名詞: mashrooms and ... tentacles
第二個 and 平衡兩個分詞: (that is) spawned... and extending... ; that = filigree

恩 謝謝您的回答

連接詞平衡的是結構 所謂的結構是 名詞平衡名詞 動辭平衡動辭
子句平衡子句嗎?

那(that is) spawned... and extending... ; that = filigree
是修飾tentacles嗎?

"所謂的結構是 名詞平衡名詞 動辭平衡動辭 子句平衡子句嗎?"
是的.

that = filigree, 所以修飾 filigree.
OG10-Q210 的解釋:
Choice A, the best answer, preserves grammatical parallelism while allowing for logical expression of temporal relationships; A employs the parallel participial phrases spawned... and extending ... to modify filigree.
