61. Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend less time with each.

(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
(B) imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
(D) that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
(E) that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending

 

 

A: and spend没有平行的对象

B: and spending和前面逻辑不平行

C: and spend和前面逻辑不平行

D: correct，spending做前面句子的伴随状语

E: requiring和spending不平行

答案是D , 但是感觉spending得主语也不明确啊

还有C是不是吧最后一个逗号去了就正确？

请NN指教

Springwaters

spending做伴随状语，不是主语。

c即使去掉逗号也是不对的。spend后的逻辑意思不是和impose,require平行的。所以不能

用and.

shining_spags

the insurance plans can not "spend" time

so the verb "spend " can not parallel with verb "impose"and "require"

顶一下这贴，同时问一下前人贴未决问题（因为问题点相同就直接照抄人家的了）：

为请问什么spending可以修饰doctors ，这个知识对我是个盲点

我只知道

（1）：现在分词在句末修饰主句主语（那本句就应该是spending修饰plan了，现

在分词到底有没有就近修饰的用法呢?）

（2）：现在分词在句末修饰前面整个句子，表示结果

 我觉得prep关于分词做伴随状语和做后置定语的一些选项非常weird
D里的spending语法上可以做主句的伴随，也可以做定语从句的伴随，而逻辑上应该是doctors的谓语。但是doctors的谓语的话，显然用不定式和to see并列更好。就算D是正确的，矫揉造作的味道似乎太重了点。
