请教Prep-75的一个语法现象

75.  A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health car, education, and environment.

A. they denounce big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting

B. they denounce big government—they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful—but supporting at the same time

C. they denounce big government, they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

D. while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting

E. while they are denouncing big government—they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful—supporting at the same time

这题答案选A,做的时候有一点疑惑的是:按照题干的理解 while at the same time supporting.....就与saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful 并列,他们同时做they denounce big government的伴随状语。但是从逻辑上来说,我觉得最好是suppor 和 denouce并列,这样正好就回应了主句的 hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views,就像选项C的结构,这样逻辑上会不会更合理一些呢?

while 并不是并列连词,而且while-clause 与 saying...之间有comma, 所以不会引起与saying 并列的歧义。

while doing...是当主从句的主语一致,而且while从句的谓语是be的时候,可以省略主谓,用while doing.

C 的两个they... 句子之间没有连词,产生了run-on sentence.
