The bones of Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered in Madagascar.

 

 

(A) The bones of Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered in Madagascar.

(B) The bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and with a close resemblance to South American predatory dinosaurs, has been discovered in Madagascar.

(C) In Madagascar, the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, distantly related to Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembled South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered.

(D) A distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, bearing a close resemblance to South American predatory dinosaurs is Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur, the bones of which have been discovered in Madagascar.

(E) A distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembling South American predatory dinosaurs, the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, have been discovered in Madagascar.

答案是A，我选了D，虽然D完全改变了原句的语序，整体表达上也不如A，但对A有一个重大的疑问就是标黄色部分同位语的逻辑关系。前面部分的核心词是bones，之后的dinosaur可以向前与修饰成分Majungatholus atopus同位，而不与核心词同位吗，以前从未见过这样的表达方式。

求NN指点

明白了，看来还是逻辑意思为首啊。

D的-ing部分的确问题很大。

谢谢了

D的话,请仔细分析句子结构,BEARING+后面一句话,一般是做伴随状态的,去掉的话,句子结构就是:
一个T.R恐龙的RELATIVE,(BEARING+++),它的骨头怎么怎么样,根本也不是同位语啊,一个是本尊,一个是骨头,说的不是一码事情.
The bones of Majungatholus atopus, a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs, have been discovered in Madagascar.
A的话,就避免那个错误了,a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs修饰是那恐龙.

同位语一般修饰句子的主语和宾语，而非句子的从属成分，参考大全一题

1.        For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.

(A) For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788

(B) Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years

(C) Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788

(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788（E）

(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788

 

但这只是个有效性错误，大多数情况下，出题机构偏好简单清楚的同位结构，GWD上有无数例子，下面这个和楼主的题目类似：

 

Studying the fruit fly, a household nuisance but a time-honored experimental subject, has enabled the secrets of how embryos develop to begin to be unraveled by scientists.

 

 

A.      Studying the fruit fly, a household nuisance but a time-honored experimental subject, has enabled the secrets of how embryos develop to begin to be unraveled by scientists.

B.      By the study of the fruit fly, a household nuisance and also a time-honored experimental subject, it was possible for the secrets of how embryos develop to begin to be unraveled by scientists.

C.     By studying a household nuisance but a time-honored experimental subject, the fruit fly enabled scientist to begin to unravel the secrets of how embryos develop.

D.     By studying the fruit fly, a household nuisance and also a time-honored experimental subject, the secrets of how embryos develop are beginning to be unraveled by scientist.

E.      The study of the fruit fly, a household nuisance but a time-honored experimental subject, has enabled scientist to begin to unravel the secrets of how embryos develop.

 

 

B、C、D，分词修饰对象与主语不一致

E is the best 同位语的插入结构

 

楼主题目里的d选项明显现在分词短语的修饰逻辑有问题，可见逻辑意思永远是最重要的，头脑里那些条条框框，有时候会防碍我们做题，有种“云深不知处”的感觉
