问题 The filibuster, a parliamentary device that slows the snail’s pace that prevails even in the best of times in congressional sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems more and more an anachronism in the age of telecommunications.
选项 A、sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems
B、sessions and tests the endurance of everyone who is associated with it, seeming to be
C、sessions, tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems
D、sessions, that tests the endurance of everyone associated with it and seems
E、sessions, testing the endurance of everyone associated with it and seeming
答案A
解析 句中两个逗号之间的插入部分作主语的同位语。从大的句子结构看，B、D、E都不是一个完整的句子，均缺主句的谓语动词。答案应在A、C中选，这个选择的确很难，因为在A中，slows和tests并列作定语从句的谓语动词，seems作主句的动词，而在C中，slows作定语从句的谓语动词，tests和seems并列作主句的动词，在意思上A、C并无太大差别。此时，and的有无就如一盏指路明灯，给考生指明了解题的方向。假设C对，语法分析是：tests与seems是主句的并列谓语动词，seems是最后一个并列谓语。但请注意该选项中seems之前是逗号，而无一并列连词，由此我们可以判定此项中seems前缺一个and。再回到A中，slows与tests并列，用and连接，作定语从句谓语，而seems作主句谓语无C中的缺and的缺陷，因而，我们选A。
