128. Australian embryologists have found evidence that
suggests that the elephant is descended from an
aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolving as a
kind of snorkel.
(A) that suggests that the elephant is descended
from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally
evolving
(B) that has suggested the elephant descended from
an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving
(C) suggesting that the elephant had descended
from an aquatic animal with its trunk originally
evolved
(D) to suggest that the elephant had descended
from an aquatic animal and its trunk originally
evolved
(E) to suggest that the elephant is descended from
an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally
evolved  

问题：按照语意，evidence后面应该说的是一个事情，得用that来引出吧，而to是标目的啊，这里并没有这个意思。我选的是A,答案是E.
谢谢大家。

但这里evidence that suggests that 相当awkward啊

chriswendy35

但是我是觉得根据整体来看，他为什么就akward了呢？

xiruihuang

evidence 后面通常是接that 引出evidence的内容 但这里由于又有了个suggest，为了避免awkward就变通一下 而且evidence后面的修饰语（that suggest...）又确实是来说明这个evidence的作用的，用to suggest表目的，同样达到了这个效果
所以既然有E，当然是E，如果没有E，A其他地方也正确，而其他选项都明显错误，那么就选A

chriswendy35

恩，谢谢LS。也就是说选一个相对好的就行了。对吧。

突然又想起一个问题，如果去掉suggest，是不是可以把后面当成evidence的内容，就不能是目的了？

mingzhu

挺明显的一个考点可能是and的平行吧， suggest that ...., and that....只有E的and后面有that...加上is decended是正确的用法。。。就把其他4项排除了

gmatmba

难道不考虑语意？？？to表目的说不通啊

James

我同意4#的说法
希望大家都能考出好成绩

A中的evolving是correctivness的错误，明显错啊
一开始evidence that sug that 定语从句套宾语从句很明显啰嗦了
E中that ... that..是正确答案的标志-。- 感觉gmat特喜欢这样的句子，比较严谨可能
