(A) secondarily, for their failure to

(B) secondly, for their failure to

(C) secondly, that they failed and did not

(D) second, that they failed to

(E) second, for failing to

答案e

我觉得前面说的是for, first of all，后面就该接 sencondly，就不应该有for，认为d可以

请指教！

谢谢：）

first, second, third.

that's how we count.

这个明白，谢谢：）我是想知道for的位置，因为觉得答案造成了不平衡，不知道该怎样理解，请教，谢谢：）

I think E is very reasonable. Absolutely parallel here is not good.

"xxx for, first of all,xxxx, for, second, xxxx"

You can simply accept E as the way Laowai use.
