639中Severe and increasing numerous critics，为什么increasing一定是修饰 numerous？而不是 critics？ increasing critics 也是可以理解的呀，越来越多的批评家？

108中为什么不是recent 修饰extended， recently extended 最近扩张的，加强的－－

遇到这种情况有什么好的判定方法吗？

请多多指教！

criticis - increasing两者之间不具逻辑匹配关系；

什么是逻辑匹配关系？我理解不了，请stoneren好心麻烦再讲仔细点，可以吗？ the increasing critics 越来越多的批评家，有什么逻辑匹配的问题呢？

就像平行关系一样，recent extended sales中如果recent和extended都作形容词修饰sales，那么至少两个形容词之间应该有一个连词and。

这就牵涉到一个口语问题，我们说‘批评家越来越多’，其实严格的表达应该是‘批评家的数量越来越多’，所以从文书表达上来说，increasing critics就不合逻辑，而increasingly numerous critics就比较合理。

108,recent是修饰extended sales这个名词结构的，而recently只能修饰extended，从各自句子的表达上来看，两个都不错，但是B改变了A所要表达的意思，而A又是可以接受的，所以B错；108和639的区别在于前者的形容词之间没有连词，而后者的形容词之间有连词，所以，两个句子的结构是不同的。
