12 Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.
(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only
(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed
(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only
(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed
(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

正确答案C里感觉怎么好象ARMED前面缺了AND。没有AND这样好象ARMED修饰的对象是Hungry。B除了较罗嗦外，没有问题。

能否告诉我：两个分词的并列，什么时候可以省略and？

感谢，感谢！

这个题目考的是逻辑意思的合理性， armed这个动词的合理的发出是traveling the back roads of Hungary，而不是they。armed是一个分词作定语.

[这个题目考的是逻辑意思的合理性， armed这个动词的合理的发出是traveling the back roads of Hungary，而不是they。armed是一个分词作定语]

如果armed作为分词做定语的话，它修饰的应该是名词，而且是紧接前面的，但是traveling the back roads of Hungary在这里显然是现在分词作状语，而定语不可能去修饰状语。偶以为armed动作发出者还是they, 即Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály这两个人，意思是在没有武器装备的情况下作旅行。

另外一种情况是：armed only with 作状语修饰前面的状语traveling the back roads of Hungary。但是似乎也很罕见，我想不出其他的例句。

请在讨论！

此致

我的想法和楼主一样，我也选B。

请各位NN指教一二！

又把这道题翻出来了，虽然已经有这么多NN讨论过。
我觉得C真的有问题，traveling和armed两个分词短语毫无疑问都应该是修饰主语、做状语，armed修饰traveling的说法我觉得讲不通。这样按照GMAT的规则两个短语中间肯定要加and(虽然日常英语中经常也不加）。我唯一能想到的理由就是ETS在出这道题的时候昏了头，要不就是故意耍无赖了。：）

OG 里面经常提到：only 的位置改掉之后，意思会不一样，也可能会vague. 所以只凭这一点，B、D all wrong.

 he  stood  before me armed with gun．楼主认为　是我armed　with　gun　吗？？　armed　是个形容词，引导的是条件状语（我发现这个说法在og　里面是不怎么流行的，但是我的初中老师是这么教的我已经习惯了，一下改不了）条件状语一般放在句首或者句尾．　同样的有时间状语，这就是为什么，一看答案就可以排除ade ，（我自己发现的如果说错了希望大家纠正）而travling它只能做分词，　他们不是并列关系，这点很重要，

其实很想告诉大家，这个分析的过细，也是很可怕的，其实句法就只有几种，　只是中间填充的东西的长短不同而已，偶尔也看一下简单的句子吧，绚烂之至　趋于平淡．
