Scientists have recently discovered what wcould be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fngus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10000 yrs ago and extending for more than 30 aces in the soil of a michigan forest.
a. extending
b. extends.
c. extended
d. it extended.
e. is extending
Why is A parallel with Spawned? Why not B? Both mean that they are today in this state of extension. but 1 means that it is still extending, and the other just says its in a current state of extension, it seems to me that both could be parallel.
also.. does E not work because there is the "is"? if it said "was spawned" than does it mean that E would have been the right answer?
thanks
