Construction of the Roman Colosseum, which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, began in A.D. 69, during the reign of Vespasian, was completed a decade later, during the reign of Titus, who opened the Colosseum with a one-hundred-day cycle of religious pageants, gladiatorial games, and spectacles.

E.officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, which was begun in A.D. 69, during the reign of Vespasian, and
不明白OG对D选项的解释，OG说 Roman Colosseum已经试最后一个动词即was completed的主语了，这是什么意思？was completed的主语难道不是construction吗？

如果把D带入原题 变成：
Construction of the Roman Colosseum，（officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater and begun in A.D. 69）, during the reign of Vespasian it 这里的括号部分都是修饰语，而且是两个v-ed分词并列去修饰主语Construction，（虽然我个人不觉得begun在这里用v-ed是正确的）结果后面又马上出来一个it，这个是不是多余啦？
你若是疑惑于谁是主语，当然construction是主语，但是这里construction of RC 可以看作是一个整体吧。我想说Roman Colosseum罗马斗兽场本身也是建筑，它不是一个地名，或者有别于建筑的东西。大家说罗马斗兽场说得就是那个建筑呗。所以这里应该都一样的。
一家之见，欢迎指正～

比较同意，但是有一点我想请问你为什么说这里你觉得用begun不合适呢？是因为begun没有被动么？
我个人的一个观点是这里就不能把known与begun并列，因为known的主语是 Roman Colosseum，而begun的主语严格来说应当是construction，所以我认为这里known与begun并列不对。

嗯。确实begun和known的叙述对象并不一致，所以不要并列。而且明显began

和was complete才是完美并列搭配，都是讲述建筑什么时候建什么时候结束的。

但是OG的意思我感觉是认为这个并列是可以的，还专门用括号里的一句话强调来了一下，sigh...
这个是OG对D的解释：there is no need touse the pronoun  it  as the subject of was completed, because Roman Colosseum (modified by phrasesdescribing its name and the time it was begun) already serves as the subject ofthe final verb.

而且感觉OG解释起来还理直气壮的....sigh again...
