not...but疑惑: PREP-1-73和 PREP-1-74

Zeldaw

这两题都有点怪，不过好像都满足一个条件，就是not...but所修饰的对象一定要是同一个，而且一定要明确。能平行当然最好，没有平行的的话就选最优答案这两题也能选出。

73

(A) the human mind is not a "blank slate," but instead that it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed as a way of solving

使得but和not修饰的对象不一致

(B) the human mind is not a "blank slate" but instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed to solve

(C) the human mind, instead of a "blank slate," it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that have been developed to solve

it 多余 

(D) rather than it being a "blank slate," the human mind comprises specialized mental mechanisms that have been developed as a way of solving

(E) rather than the human mind's being a "blank slate," that it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed as a way of solving

74我觉得D之所以比C好，是因为C有可能产生和前句because they enhance reproduction or survival产生转折的歧义。而D解决了这个问题
