Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike in
department stores, do very little impulse shopping, not buying a pair of skis
and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but they leave with a
basketball only.

A.
in department stores, do very little impulse
shopping, not buying a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a
basketball, but they leave with a basketball only

B.
in department stores, shop impulsively very little;
someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not
also buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well

C.
those in department stores, do very little impulse
shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a
basketball, but leave with only a basketball

D.
those in department
stores, do very little impulse shopping; someone who comes in for a basketball
will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as
well

E.
department stores, shop impulsively very little;
someone will not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a
basketball but will leave with only a basketball

Gwd给的答案是D，但给出的解释是：C，do.. , do not ..., but不明确but与前面那个部分产生转折，我觉得C选项比D选项好，恳请大牛们讲解一下～

我觉得D比较好啊~~~~

those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball

这里的they 指代容易产生歧义吧~~~

解释C选项为何不对：
摘自Ron在Manhattan论坛上的解释：
1) there's no such construction as "A, B, but C". i.e., "but" can't link three things in the way that "and" or "or" could.

2) it makes no sense to put all 3 of these things in parallel, because they don't belong in parallel; the last two are an explanation of the first one. i.e., the last two things are an explanation of the idea that these shoppers "do very little impulse shopping".

Ron 的意思是，do very little impulse shopping, do not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang when they come in for a basketball, but leave with only a basketball 后两句是解释第一句的，这三个分句并没有平行的关系然而却构成了平行的机构，所以是错的

我认为还有一点，逗号+but，but作为连词，后面连接的应该是一个完整的句子，而C选项but后面是没有主语的。

而D选项对的很显然。those in department stores, do very little impulse shopping; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well
分号引起另一个完整的句子，同时可以解释说明第一句的主语shoppers，定语从句who comes in for a basketball 修饰someone，leave 和 not buy 构成平行。
在beatgmat论坛中这道题很普通，很多native speaker进来说了一句 "parallelism, choose D" 就走了。。

我有个疑问，请NN们小解释一下：为何 leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well, 是and 而不是or a bommerang呢？

我有有个疑问 D选项 will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well 觉得not buy之前应该有一个will，解释说as well是修饰buy的具体起到什么作用啊是充当了will的作用么？谢谢各位！
