请教做题的时候是看ｇｒｏｗ的用法呢，还是AS。。。AS。。。用法？？

D.include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
有几个问题：
1. “big" 至少是个两维的概念吧，"30 feet" 是个一维的概念，逻辑上能否相比较？
2. 假设可以比较，至少应该是as big as 30 feet. as...as.. ，第二个as是介词，后面不能接adj, 所以 as big as 30 feet long 也不对作者: cckjenius 时间: 2010-12-26 06:57
说错了，我也是选的D。作者: xiruihuang 时间: 2010-12-28 07:02
我做这道题的时候，首先考虑and前后的平行关系。在GMAT里，这种平行是严格的平行。然后是as as结构。比如and前后要同时有代词做主语或者同时具有非谓语动词。
说一个不成文的规律，一般GMAT考试里，有being都是错误选项，当然有特例，OG上只有一道题，being出现了，而答案正好是有being的那个选项。
as big as是不合适和30 feet long相搭配的。因此排除B.D. E中and之前没有和it对应的代词，排除E。
同样作为修饰，which优于being。
