The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.
banked with dirt to a height of
banked with dirt as high as that of
banked them with dirt to a height of
was banked with dirt as high as
was banked with dirt as high as that of
some of our players weigh as much as 300-325 pounds --> bad phrasing
some of our players weigh as much as 325 pounds --> good phrasing
a height of——idiom
句子结构:S (定语done by YANA), 同位语(同YANA), V C, 独立主格s done1, 同位语(同bark), and done2. (若还原成完整句是framework was overlaid and was banked)
2. C: bank的对象应该是its framework,因而使用them是错误的,而banked them with dirt更是错误的独立主格结构。排除C;
3. B:that of无指代对象,且画线部分后面是具体的高度值,因而画线部分应该是“达到...样的高度”,所以B选项错误,正确选项是A。

平行&独立主格
首先该句的and,后“堆积灰尘”应该是与前面的“”overlaid with slabs of bark“对等的,bank对应overlaid, 如果加be动词,则意思上与”was conical in shape“并不平行,所以DE不对
C中的them代表一个复数,而非”its framework of poles“,错误
B中的that找不到一个对应的代指,同时,as XX as应该不能用于一个范围
如果用了was banked那就是跟house平行 banked跟its framework平行
语义来说是跟framework所以去掉了DE
而且有两种可能的并列,那就需要句子后面的错误去排除是哪一种
