SAT的语法问题求助啊！？

11.august Wilson's Pittsburgh cycle consists of ten plays ,(nine of which are set in Pittsburgh's hill district,an African American neighborhood,and each of which is set) in a different decade of the twentieth century.
(A) nine of which are set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, an African American neighborhood, and each of which is set

D) nine of the plays set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, an African American neighborhood, and the settings of each one is
答案是A，请问D为什么不对呢？

2. After the grueling rehearsal,the pianist felt wore out and wanted only to sleep.
这里的wore为什么要改成过去分词worn啊?

Answer 1

1. D肯定不对。
首先，D选项中的and应该连接两句句子，但是前半句nine of the plays set in ...不是一个完整的句子（因为应该说成nine of the plays are set in ...）；就算是改成了nine of the plays are set in ...也不对，因为这样以来和前面的句子仅是用逗号连接，变成run-on了，是错的。
第二，D选项中的后半句的主语是settings（复数），谓语动词应用are。
从以上两点可以看出，D肯定不对。
A选项是正确的，其中的which指代ten plays，是一个非限制性定语从句。
再如：He gave me many books, most of which are written in English.

2. felt的原形是feel，在本句中是连系动词，相当于be，后面要跟上形容词。如：On hearing the good new, she felt very happy.
wore的原形是wear，过去分词是worn，可以构成词组be worn out，意思相当于very tired（精疲力竭）。所以，要说feel worn out.

Answer 2

这样子 已经有一位吧语法解释的很清楚 我稍微点下 并且讲下做题原则
1.原句本身就不对 划线部分根本不成句子 D看到 settings 后面肯定做复数
2.felt 系动词 系表结构 所以后面跟的应该是形容词 而动词的过去分词才有这个资格 eg：Be broken

下面说考试时应该的做法： 1. and 看并列 前后内容应该一致类似 结构类似（SAT语法要求） 一共是ten plays，后面同位语肯定是解释这个的 9场在XXX and 一场在XXX（总不见得9场在xxx and 每一产的位置） 不通！ 非中文语法，SAT考试中 看到and 就看前后是否一致

Answer 3

1 如果要选D，那至少也是Nine of the plays are set……吧，要用被动

2 这里是动词的现在分词作定语的用法
