　　D. of more than 75 carully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

　　C: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale;each同位语从句用过去完成时没必要，

　　D: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale;and with each没有平行对象，

　　E: 第二个of修饰Structures不对，应该修饰scale;each后面是完整句子但没有连词

　　注意：

　　1、The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale of up to 600 rooms each, connected by a complex regional system of roads. each指The Anasazi settlements，而不是rooms或者structures!

　　2、介词的修饰对象、插入语、逗号+过去分词的用途及修饰对象

　　C: it表语从句用法错，not so as…as much as 不平行

　　D: 同上，第二个is多余, not so much… so much as用法错

　　E: 同上，to be bred 和 to meet 逻辑不平行

　　注意：

　　1、not so much that… as that表示与其说…不如说，形式平行

　　2、for looks or to meet是功能平行而不是形式平行，表示be bred的目的

　　3、从表面上看E的to be done 和 to do形式上最平行，但逻辑上修饰对象是错的，是迷惑选项。
