RT, 求教: OG12的解释中说该题考察了平行结构Parallelism,
请问在几个选项中是如何体现出来的?
如果用排除法,该怎么做?
我楞是没看出来这个平行结构...是for equal political and legal rights...and for changes么?

mm 帮你把题贴出来
38. In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal
political and legal rights and for changes in the married women’s property laws.
(A) arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights
(B) arguing in a treatise for equal political and legal rights for women
(C) a treatise that advocates women’s equal political and legal rights
(D) a treatise advocating women’s equal political and legal rights
(E) a treatise that argued for equal political and legal rights for women

Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
Mott’s Discourse was a treatise, and it is redundant
and confusing to present her as both publishing
her Discourse and arguing in a treatise, as though
they were two separate things. Th e verb arguing
must be followed by a prepositional phrase
beginning with for, but the verb advocating simply
takes a direct object.
A After published her Discourse … arguing in a
treatise is wordy and imprecise.
B Arguing in a treatise is redundant and
awkward.
C Th e verb advocates does not work
idiomatically with the prepositional phrase
for changes. …
D Th e verbal advocating does not work
idiomatically with the prepositional phrase
for changes. …
E Correct. Th e title of Mott’s publication is
followed by a phrase describing the treatise,
and argued is followed by for.
Th e correct answer is E.

看到and for changes in the married women’s property laws从语法上E更平行，从句子意思上说，A也没有E好。V-ing在句末做状语的逻辑主语是主句主语,E更好。另一方面考虑这里也可能是ing表示结果，A就显然不对了，所以A有些逻辑问题。LS可以自己在体会一下~open to discuss

michaelmay说的挺好的,补充一下第二点吧。

选项A是这个样子：
In 1850, Lucretia Mott published her Discourse on Women, arguing in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights and for changes in the married women’s property laws.

提炼一下就是这个样子：
LM published A, arguing in B for ......
然后就可以看出逻辑意思上的缺陷——并没有说清楚A和B是什么逻辑关系。尽管v-ing结构表伴随，但我们不知道是否B属于A的一部分？是否B=A？或者A和B就是两个没有交集的东东（LM同时做了这两件事）？
正确答案是absolute phrase结构，明确说明了B=A。

这题OG也说了arguing in a treatise for women to have....是nonidiomatic
argue for sth.
argue + that clause
GMAT里argue似乎这两种搭配最常见，字典里有"argue sb. into doing sth", "argue sb. out of doing sth"。总之"argue for sb. to do sth." 肯定是错的。

[/quote]我说的有些混吧，其实我觉得A中的ing作状语是应该没问题的（参见prep08语法笔记），不过可能是结果状语，也可能是伴随状语，如果是结果状语，则逻辑不合适，如果是伴随状语的话，逻辑上不能说不对，但是E更好一些吧。具体的分析，看ls的吧
