OG12 42修饰问题

haileywang

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 spawned by a single fertilized spore
some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than
30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.
(A) extending
(B) extends
(C) extended
(D) it extended
(E) is extending


答案A
在看了几个帖子以后我发现一个疑问
spawned.. and extending...到底是修饰 an interwoven filigree的   还是 rootlike tentacles

一般情况 A of B结构 后面的定语都是修饰中心词A的
那么这里就应该是修饰an interwoven filigree的~
但是帖子里好多人都是认为是rootlike tentacles啊！~
有些疑惑  请大家指正~~谢谢

我怎么觉得是修饰a giant fungus的？后面的这个部分是独立主格结构，a fungus (that..)spawned and extending.

只是直觉哈。

我也觉得是修饰fungus, 这题我看了其它人的讲解后算是明白了。题目不是说科学家发现有个fungus现在还存在。文章就接着解释这个fungus。

我最开始也是有过这个想法~~后来觉得是不是有点跳跃呢。。

结构应该是
F that is ~~~~~and extending~~~
