问题 The growing demand for housing, traffic congestion, and longer commuting trips has all but eliminated the cost advantage of owning a house in many rural communities.
选项 A、The growing demand for housing, traffic congestion, and longer commuting trips has
B、Traffic congestion, the growing demand for housing, and longer commuting trips has
C、Longer commuting trips, traffic congestion, and the growing demand for housing has
D、Traffic congestion, longer commuting trips, and the growing demand for housing have
E、The growing demand for housing, as well as traffic congestion and longer commuting trips, have
答案D
解析 B、C中主谓不一致。E同理，as well as作为插入成分，不影响主语的单、复数属性。A、B错是由于并列成分中的一个部分——the demand for housing中有一个介词for，可能会产生歧义，误认为不仅housing，而且还包括traffic congestion，longer commuting trips均为for的宾语，这样就明显改变了句意。而D将并列中的不同部分的顺序做了调整，避免了此误会(请体会平行结构的第三个特征：意思上不能引起争议)。值得一提的是，平行结构的表达中有这样一条原则：即平行部分的次序按其长短排列，最短的、词最少的放在最前面；最长的、词最多的部分放在并列部分的结尾处。D选项也同时满足了此要求。本句中all but可译为：几乎，差不多。(可对照：E7—12中：omens，messages receded at seances and signs from heaven)
