答案选C
可是C中，主谓之间没有同位语成分，却用逗号分开，我想这是不对的。

1、平行结构首先要意思合理（1）numbers of “若干、许多”不能和vast amounts 构成平行结构（2）numbers of staff memebers说法累赘

2、我们是在比较选项，要从比较中找问题。“主谓之间没有同位语成分，却用逗号分开”这个可能是打印错误

sorry, i haven't understanded why "numbers of "can not parallel with "vast amounts of".
both mean 很多,若干.大量的.

我来尝试理解以下1stzhang的意思。“平行结构首先要意思合理”，C是什么意思呢？

vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff memebers
大把钱一堆工作人员的成员能搞定它。

而实际意思，我觉得应该是：一堆工作人员，而不是"一堆工作人员的--成员"。好像ETS蛏田玩这种无聊的文字游戏。

c并不是很好的平行结构吧。如果写成vast amounts of money nor (LARGE) numbers of staff memebers这样才是平行吧。
同意siebel的意见。

NO.1, 这题主要是考STAFF是集合名词, 全体职员, 全体工作人员. STAFF MEMBERS 是重复的说法, NUMBERS OF STAFF 意思说不通哦. 如果要表达全体工作人员的成员的意思, 可以说是STAFFS, OR A MEMBER OF A STAFF.

NO.2, "主谓之间没有同位语成分，却用逗号分开，我想这是不对的。" C 中主谓之间有豆号吗? 我怎么没看明白呢?

thank everyone!
agree with carefield,
staff确实是集合名词, 现在我明白了, 这类的集合名词不能和members连用,意义重复.
都怪我上新东方时没仔细听, 现在回忆一下,好像白大侠也是这么讲的.
多谢各位解答!
另外, 200题, 我只是想确认一下主谓之间没有插入成分能否加逗号,
现在看来大家都一致同意.主谓之间没有插入成分不能加逗号, 否则会造成句子中断.

hey, Jacy, today i saw the usage of " staff members" in the reading comprehensition, so i think the usage is correct. as far as your question, i estimate that the meaning is not suitable in this sentence.

jacy · 发表于 2003-6-4 17:41:00

thank carefield, u are so careful in reading and responsible for ur answer.
thank u again!
while, i still agree with ur original answer,
because the SC in GMAT is more rigorous,
so even if the usage of "staff members" is correct in RC or CR,
it is likely wrong in SC.

on the other hand, in this question, answer D is better than C because D accords with the parallelism
"neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff"
adj.(vast)+n.==adj.(large)+n.

and as what u said, the meaning of D is also better than C.
