The results of two recent unrelated studies support the idea that dolphins may share certain cognitive abilities with humans and great apes; the studies indicate dolphins as capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors—an ability that is often considered a sign of self-awareness—and to grasp spontaneously the mood or intention of humans.

题目分析：
观察单个选项很难发现考点，只有对比(A)(B)两个选项才能看出to grasp和of grasping的区别，进而可以发现平行的考点。
选项分析：
A选项：as capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors可以看作是dolphins的补语（宾补）在这点上问题不大，主要的问题出现在平行上，在逻辑上，recognize themselves in mirrors（认识自己）和grasp spontaneously the mood or intention of humans（掌握人类的情绪和目的）分别是海豚的两种能力，两者应该在语法上平行，但是本选项中两者是不平行的（of recognizing themselves in mirrors和to grasp spontaneously）。
B选项：recognize和grasp的平行错误同(A)；另外，本选项中不定式to recognize themselves in mirrors是ability的定语，这使得谓语动词indicate的宾语的核心词为“能力”。但在逻辑上，研究表明的事情应该是“海豚有能力做什么”，而不是“海豚的能力”。
C选项：不定式to be capable of recognizing themselves in mirrors是dolphins的补语（宾补）。这是不正确的，谓语动词indicate身后应该用宾语从句而不是名词加不定式，这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。
D选项：the ability身后只能加不定式to do而不能加介词短语of doing。这点考查了“动名词和不定式的区别”。用之于本题，例如我们说：
James have the ability to finish GMAT.
在例句开始的时候，显然詹姆斯还没有完成GMAT呢，否则我们就说的是一句废话，因为人家都已经完成了，当然是有能力了。由此可知，ability的定语只能用不定式而不能用介词短语。
E选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C项的问题不在于平行，而是不定式的使用 indicate后面不是主观造成改变，因此不能用不定式
曼哈顿上给出的 consider as是gmat不接受的用法
千万不要这么记忆...这不是一个考查英语的考试，consider as/to be的结构，在OG里有原题使用。这种所谓的知识点，都和解题是无关的。

are capable of recognizing
我记得曼哈顿上给出的 consider as是gmat不接受的用法，应该也是这题的一个split吧？
请问a，c中的主干：indicate dolphins 符合逻辑吗？我想的是：研究表明的不是海豚而是海豚有能力这件事。
或者是因为宾补的存在解释了我的想法。
宾语和宾补加在一起叫“复合宾语”嘛，相当于indicate的还是一件事。

AC选项中看做宾补的部分为什么不是修饰宾语的定语呢？
【as capable of recognizing..和to be capable of recognizing...】并不是谓语indicate结果，貌似与谓语没有关系而只是修饰dolphins的啊？
这句子的意思是，把海豚给表明成了有能力怎么怎么样，自然是宾补咯。

indicate 应该用that
