OG12 CR78,难题求助!!!

OG12 CR78,
Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles islands.

A. sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of
B. sloth, that they found in Puerto Rico in 1991, has been dated at 34 million years old, thus making it the earliest mammal known on
C. sloth that was found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, making this the earliest known mammal of
D. sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on
E. sloth which, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, was dated at 34 million years old, made the sloth the earliest known mammal of


麻烦考友了!!我想问一下正确选项D: sloth,found in Puerto..... 中的found是被发现,所以谓语动词是have been found对吗? 然后是三个平行:have be found.... have been date...,have been making....
看到e-gmat.com上:Certain fossils were found in Puerto Rico in 1991 and are 34M years old.
只用过去被动时不用have been那不是不平行了吗,但是如果用完成时又不对,请问如何平行呢?
Fossils were found ___ and have been dated ___ made it _____.

babybearmm的解释:
这道题正确句子的主干:
Fossils have been dated at 34 million years old.
修饰成分插入在空格位置:
Fossils _____, ______, have been dated at 34 million years old, ____.

关于A,我觉得最大的问题是主干的逻辑意思不对,提炼下A的结构:
Fossils (found ___, and dated ___,) made it _____.

第一,从逻辑上看,我用括号包围的部分应该是noun modifier that modifies "fossils", 那么这里标点符号就存在严重问题,应该是以下两种表达之一:
Fossils found ___ and dated ___ made it _____. (无逗号)
Fossils, found ___ and dated ___, made it _____. (一前一后逗号成对)

第二,还是从逻辑上看,是"dated at ...."造成了"made sloth the earliest known mammal ..." 这个大家都能理解吧
所以A的句子逻辑就不对,而正确句子D,恰恰体现了这种逻辑关系

的解释Understand the meaning of the sentence and determine the logical antecedent
Per the sentence:
Certain fossils were found in Puerto Rico in 1991 and are 34M years old.
当中是were found。

比较og12 sc84的解释,D  omitting the main verb, is, results in a sentence fragment, 如果是were found但是没有were那就是sentence fragment。

found到底和什么平行呢? many, many thanks!!

同问,我也是在想found应该优先修饰sloth啊这样逻辑就不对了

我有个问题想请教:分词 found in Puerto Rico in 1991,逻辑上是修饰fossils吗?但语法上不是修饰sloth吗?会不会有逻辑/语法修饰对象不一致的问题?

TOP

答案C看似相关,但是其实与本题内容无关,因为答案C问的实际是:通过增加mice捕食者的数量,是否可以控制受感染的deer tick 的数量?注意关键点是:“是否可以控制”,重点在Controll上,而不是关于数量本身。因此可以理解为与本题无关。

谢谢各位了!

这题似乎 没有考到 平行。 OG 解释黑体字 AGREEMENT; LOGICAL PREDICTION 考点是 主谓一致 和 逻辑推断
found 是 过去分词作 fossils的 后置定语。  
have been dated at 是谓语动词。
making 是作结果状语 修饰 前面 整句句子。

TOP

认为found没有和哪个平行,仅仅是修饰主语的定语

TOP

同意FOUND是过去分词的用法只是修辞主语。

TOP

我咋觉得found没有和谁平行,它不是那啥过去分词做修饰吗?等楼下
