请大家看一下：
A prolific architect who worked from the turn of the century until the late 1950's, [U]JM designed nearly 800 building in California, perhaps most notably WRH's monumental estate at SS.[/U]
这是正确答案，问题是perhaps....at SS做何成分？独立主格吗？不象。

Because the Earth's crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves,an earthquake of [U]a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West. [/U]
答案是in the eastern United States will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West.为什么原句错？

Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth , a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles apawned by a single fertillzed spore some 10000 years ago and [U]extending [/U]for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest. 为什么用extends不对？
  
还有一疑问。白老师说过，WAHT从句做主语，谓语由宾语决定。那这句话：
What is more difficult to determine are the  reason for ...,the use to..., and the meaning of the....这里应用is 还是are?[em04]

Because the Earth's crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves,an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.
答案是in the eastern United States will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West.为什么原句错？

这是OG上的解释：
At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 100 times the area... than is unidiomatic.

1.做同谓语
2. quake 重现更明确, 因为quake不可能是两地的同一个quake
3.和前面apawned by 并列,都是修饰tentacles
4.还是用is吧,因为是 the reason

extends 和谁并列？ 应该是extending现在分词和spawned过去分词并列做定语,修饰an interwoven filigree

“WAHT从句做主语，谓语由宾语决定。”

[em14]请解释：为什么由宾语决定？

crazyday

多谢大家！这么快就有热心人解答，真让人高兴！
但还有点不明：
1。为什么做谓语？里面没有动词啊？
4。宾语是A，B and C.的话，谓语应该是复数啊？

Louisa_xy

1.lisa说的是同位语
4.what...引导的从句作主语，谓语动词用单数，所以是 is

肯定用is!!!!你的这个句子不是主谓宾结构,而是系表结构.系动词用is
