Question

高分答谢！！一道SAT语法题！！！

Set in the sixteenth century, modern audiences enjoyed the contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei written by Philip Glass.

(A) century, modern audiences enjoyed the contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei written by Philip Glass

(B) century and written by Philip Glass, modern audiences enjoyed the contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei

(C) century, the contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei was written by Philip Glass and enjoyed by modern audiences

(D) century, Philip Glass’s contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei has enjoyed great success with modern audiences

(E) century, Philip Glass wrote the contemporary opera Galileo, Galilei which enjoyed great success with modern audiences

答案是D，但是为什么不能选C呢？
因为是网络录音教学，老师的录音如下：【【（之前都在讲怎样排除ABE）....所以现在只留下了C、D选项，那么我们为什么不选C呢？你把C代入原文中，set in the sixteen century就要修饰这两个平行结构，没错，呃，这个可以勉强修饰GG是PG写成的，但是绝对修饰不了由现代观众所享受，能听懂吧？好，我们来看下一题。。。】】 求解释！谢谢！

Answer 1

因为主动词was 不能并用在 written 和 enjoyed之前， was written 没错，因为这是过去式 (set in the sixteenth century)。 可是应该是 is enjoyed by modern audiences, 而不能是 was enjoyed, 因为 audidences 是 modern.

Answer 2

注意形容的对象和形容的部分要相邻为好，同时注意顺叙，用“Philip Glass’s contemporary opera”而不是“the contemporary opera Galileo Galilei written by Philip Glass.”
good luck~

Answer 3

→_→C选项中两个成分是并列的，而原文中的set in the sixteen century 限制了其只能修饰其中的由PG写成，而被现代观众所享受不能被set …修饰，两者间不能用and 连接。(┬＿┬)眼镜兄你是哪里不理解啊，求解释。

Answer 4

C选项中的enjoyed是和was并列的谓语动词，它并不是和written并列的
