平行结构彻底晕了

PREP SC-68

For the best extraction of the flavor of saffron threads, it should be soaked in liquid after being pounded with a mortar and pestle.
(A) For the best extraction of the flavor of saffron threads, it should be soaked in liquid after being pounded
(B) To best extract their flavor, saffron threads should be soaked in liquid after pounding
(C) The best way to extract the flavor from saffron threads is soaking them in liquid after being pounded
(D) The best way to extract the flavor from saffron threads is to soak them in liquid after pounding them
(E) The flavor of saffron threads can best be extracted by soaking it in liquid after pounding it

答案D，sth is sth的平行结构，上面的结构是the best way to do... is to...

但是，看下面这个：

84. One legacy of Madison Avenue's recent campaign to appeal to people fifty years old and over is the realization that as a person ages. their concerns change as well.
(A) the realization that as a person ages, their
(B) the realization that as people age, their
(C) to realize that when a person ages, his or her
(D) to realize that when people age, their
(E) realizing that as people age, their

答案B。

晕了，这个结构和前一个有区别么？one legacy to appeal...is....，按照前面的结构，不是应该用one legacy to appeal...is to...么？

是不是这里的to appeal...是修饰legacy的？而前面的the best way to...里面的to...表示目的？？？？？有什么不一样？求教

我觉得84里面的to appeal是修饰campaign的.

68后面的to soak them xxxx 是进一步解释 to extract the flavor,所以这两个地方要对称

即便84,如果认为to appeal是修饰legacy,那么后文中的the realization是修饰legacy而不是to appeal的.

仔细读读,我觉得这两个的差异还是有的. 但我说不太清楚

ETS出题的标准是

准确，简洁，漂亮

平行属于漂亮的范畴，应该让位于准确

注意ETS很无耻，非常喜欢在平行这一点上骗人，

平行的概念是OG强力灌输给学习者的，但是他们很喜欢在唯一形式平行的选项里加一点不太明显的错误

使得另一个明显不平行的选项正确，因为那是唯一没有语法错误和意思歪曲的选项

，你可以看下23-20，那个更明显
