a) 如题
b)strengthening the economy in the South with soil improvement and the diversification of crops
c) strengthening the economy of the South through soil improvement and crop diversification
d) the strengthening the economy of the South through improving soil and crop diversification
e) the economic strengthening in the South with improving soil and diversifying soil
句子结构：George dedicated his life to (doing) something through A and B.
其中，A和B为结构对称、含义平行的短语结构。
A. With应该为through
B. With应该为through；soil improvement和diversification of crops结构不平行；in the South与of the
South表达的含义不同。
C. 正确。
D. Improving soil和crop diversifying不平行，前者为动宾词组（动词性质），后者为名词性质
E. With应该为through；in the South与of the South表达的含义不同。
平行对称（Parallelism）, 有效用词（Diction）
1) through A and B, A/B要求形式平行、内容对称。做到了这一平行的选项包括A – improvement of
soil and diversification of crops，采用了两个of介词短语、C选项 – soil improvement and crop
diversification、以及E选项 – improving soil and diversifying crops，采用两个动名词化的动宾结
构
2) dedicate something to/for something, 此处的to为介词，接名词、动名词、或名词性词组
3) 表示通过某种方式、通过做某事达到某种效果时，多用介词through，with表达的意思不同。
比较说明
此题的dedicate his life to the economic strengthening, to strengthening the economy, 以及to the strengthening of the economy在语法上均没有绝对的错误，都是可以接受的表达方式。只是相比较就
GMAT“准确、清晰、简洁”这一原则而言，使用能够表示动作含义的to strengthening the economy更
加符合GMAT一贯的精准原则，也就是考生熟知的“动词优于名词”原则。作者: xindier 时间: 2015-10-26 10:00
dedicated his life to strengthening the economy of the South through soil improvement and crop diversification。谓语是dedicated
宾语是his life to strengthening the economy of the South through soil improvement and crop diversification是宾语补足语。
能够做宾语补足语的包括形容词、介词短语（或不定式）、现在分词（需要特定的动词做谓语）、副词（摘自毕出的《GAMT句子改错语法推理精讲》）
同时根据曼哈顿第六版CH11，P181，“冠词+v-ing”是复杂动名词，一般做主语或则宾语，不起修饰作用（能够做定语或者状语起修饰作用的是分词，虽然看起来都是V+ing，但是词性是不一样的）。
所以可以排除ADE.
