Heirloom tomatoes, grown from seeds saved from the previous year, only look less appetizing than their round and red supermarket cousins, often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but are more flavorful.

1. cousins, often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but are
2. cousins, often green and striped, or with plenty of bumps and bruises, although
3. cousins, often green and striped, or they have plenty of bumps and bruises, although they are
4. cousins; they are often green and striped, or with plenty of bumps and bruises, although
5. cousins; they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but they are

 i choose D,but OA is E

i think "they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but they are" is redundant constructions .the second they should be omited.

"they are often green and striped, or have plenty of bumps and bruises, but are  " is correct express.

要么是"but they are more flavorful"，要么是"but more flavorful"。

"but are more flavorful"不是正确的表达方式。

嗯，反正那个they要去掉，are可省略。

觉的E错啊！～～

不是这样子的。

are可以省略，但they也要同时省略掉，这种情况下就是but连接两个形容词，而不是句子。

如果带着are，那么就是连接句子，句子要有主语，they就不可以省略。

E虽然有点啰嗦，但语法上是不错的。D的although不能这样直接连接形容词，反而是错的。

你说呢？

查的oxford上写的although后可以接形容词的

例句：He performed the task well, although slowly.

继续讨论~~~

偶现在明白了，E的they用法没错，but前面有逗号they省略和不省略都没有错。og

上也有例子。

D还是平行问题or with

slowly 是副词啊！
