OG 197 看了前辈的帖子还是没弄明白D选项

197. In the fall of 1985, only 10 percent of the women entering college planned to major in education, while 28 percent chose business, making it the most popular major for women as well as for men.

(A) as well as for men

(B) as well as the men

(C) and men too

(D) and men as well（A）

(E) and also men

Two elements connected by a coordinate conjunction should be expressed in parallel form. Only A, the best choice, correctly observes this rule (the most popular major for women as well as for men). （从未划线部分判断平行内容）B, C, D, and E omit the necessary for in the second element. In addition, by using the simple coordinate conjunction and, C, D, and E create the illogical impression that the decision of 28 percent of the women entering college in 1985 to choose business as a major also made the major the most popular among men. （？？？？）The conjunction as well as implies that business had already been the most popular major for men and that in 1985, for the first time, it became the most popular major for both sexes.

请教：根据OG的解释，A as well as B是不是和A and B as well不一样？后者和and有什么区别呢？

           如果D选项改为and for men as well行不行？

for不能省略

for women ...for men,知道这一点就好了
