Q1: GWD-11-28

In an effort to reduce the number of fires started by cigarettes, a major tobacco company is test-marketing a cigarette in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, thereby slowing the rate at which it burns and lowering the heat it generates.



A.in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, thereby slowing

B.in which they use thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows

C.that uses thin layers of extra paper to decrease the amount of oxygen when it enters the cigarette, thereby slowing

D.for which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen that enters the cigarette, and thereby slowing

E.using thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows

OA：A没问题，想问下各位如果A的末尾变成and thereby slowing还对不对呢？这个and的并列学的越多反倒越迷糊了~然后这里的slowing是修饰什么呢？是修饰前面thn layers of extra.....整个句子吗？
谢谢大家啦！

哈哈~很详细哈~第二个问题明白啦！拜谢拜谢！！
第一个问题其实我们之前也有讨论过，只不过当时是说and前面如果有“，”，后面的句子如果是一个完整的句子则和主句并列，如果不完整的话就有可能是跟从句的谓语动词并列，也就是我们常说的一个错误点：and后面的句子逻辑上和从句并列但语法上和主句并列。比如说 I like to eat the appls that look bigger than others, and feel fresher than others. 我随便想的一个句子不一定准确啦，你觉得这个句子有错误吗？是不是feel前面加上that会更加清晰？但是这个例子是不是能表明and前面有“，”也不一定只能和主句并列吖~
呃…其实我也不知道我究竟想表达什么了，总之就是这个and和“，”的问题我一直都比较乱~希望你能看懂我想表达什么啦，一起梳理一下and这个点吧~

呵呵，第4种情况有哇~例如前面一个主句，后面跟了一个定从就变成S+V+O that....and that.....后面两个定从都是修饰宾语的那个名词的~不知道这样算不算完整的句子~

一时还真找不到GMAT里面的句子~就暂且先看下我刚才说的那个例子吧I like to eat the appls that look bigger than others and that feel fresher than others.  虽然这个句子不一定严谨，但是GMAT里面确实出现过类似的情况，为了使句子结构更加清晰都会把第二个定从的that给补出来~我以后碰到了就贴上来~不知道这样解释合理不？

恩恩~好的！哈哈，谢谢啦~
