Like their male counterparts, women scientists are above average in terms of intelligence and creativity, but unlike men of science, their female counterparts have had to work against the grain of occupational stereotyping to enter a "man's world."

(A) their female counterparts have had to work

(B) their problem is working

(C) one thing they have had to do is work

(D) the handicap women of science have had is to work

(E) women of science have had to work

这道题很容易选对，E对称的很明显。

但是想问，为什么后半句用science而不是scientist，men of science是什么意思？

那么能否算A也对呢？

因为前半句也是their male counterpatrs 与 women scientists对称的？
