Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.
这其实是两个句子
第一句：Minivans carry as many as seven passengers
第二句：Compared with most sport utility vehicles, minivans(补出的主语） cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

为什么这是两个句子呢？
因为第一句是陈述事实，而第二句是和别的比较，GMAT考逻辑啊逻辑！！！

然后把两句并起来，Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, minivans(补出的主语） cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.
这时前后两个句子的主语一样，于是省略第二个主语。

PS，如果前后并列是系动词的话系动词也要省略

还是不明白，怎么是两个句子呢？我怎么看是carry，cost，get，allow and have 并列呢？这样的话，carry跟cost之间就不该有and。

and并列的是carry和cost，两个句子间，必须有and。
D选项compared做分词修饰M还是passengers？明显有歧义。
