A) Ignore the non-essential modifier "compared with most SUV", A) reads "Minivans carry seven passengers, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride."

verb "carry" are paralleled to a list of verb, namely "cost", "get", "allow", and "have".

B)"Minivans they cost less" incorrect
C) "Minivans carry...and have a lower cost, they...." Sentence fragment, incorrect
D)noun, + modifier1, +modifier2; modifier2 "compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less" incorrectly modifies "passengers" in modifier1
E) same as D

Let me know whether you have any other questions.

可是觉得A里面多了个and

Nope; "Minivans carry [blah blah] and cost [blah blah], get [blah blah], allow [blah blah], and have [blah blah]." 这个形式没有问题。

我觉得这题应该从句意逻辑把握。compared with most sport utility vehicles是一个提示
句中一个大中心是Minivans carry xx and（，compared with most sport utility vehicles,） xxxx.   
而一个小中心是xxxx中3个and的连接部分，它们都是指相对于大多数SUV的优点

i choose A
并列句
1. and 之前那句是描述功能
2. and 之后那句是对比功能
3. and 之后省略相同主语-简洁

D的一个问题是,句子重心不对了,缺乏了原句中并列句的语义(原句没有逻辑错误)

LS,D选项compared做分词修饰M还是passengers,明显有歧义。

第一个and连接两个main clause

另一个and连接三个平行的谓语动词
