In most cases, a verb phrase or a clause is clearer than a noun phrase,
at least in ETS's logics. I can feel that the noun FREQUENCY over here
is not that good, but I'm sorry for not being able to say why...

谢谢xealot!

自己试着分析一下，是不是可以这样解释：真正"crucial"的是"inventory turns over frequently"而不是"frequency"?

E是对的无疑，可是"clear"怎么解释呢？

要是不采用平行，那么the frequency不是和shelves平行了吗？都是名词性的，可能是这个less clear吧
