53. The nineteenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early experiments in his “Essay on Heat and Light,”a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

(A) a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a

(B) a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a

(C) a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as well

(D) critiquing all chemistry from Robert Boyle forward and also a vision of

(E) critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own envisioning of

正确答案是A 。我想问的是B选项，og解释说critique和his envisioning是不平行的。但是，manhattan里面不是说，动作名词和复杂动名词是可以平行的吗？这里critique是动作名词，his envisioning是复杂动名词，也就是名词性动名词，为什么不能平行呢？（当然这里有一个错误先忽略，就是一个动作有专有的动作名词时就不要使用动名词形式，envisioning的相应的动作名词应该是vision）

前边是名词后边并列的两个同位语不一致不好吧，平行也要看出现的位置作的成分。我自己的看法

谢谢！但是能不能具体说下哪里不一致呢？

a critique和a vision都是his “Essay on Heat and Light” 的同位语，critique在这里不是action noun而是描述一个作品的concrete noun

his doing 这种结构貌似在G里面就很不爽。。。。。。这里感觉his envisioning 和 visions 有一定区别肯定有的我觉得但是我说不上来。。。。。。。

我的问题是这里的chemistry是化学家的意思吗？还有A选项里的since Robert Boye是什么意思？谢谢

曼哈顿上面对action noun的解释：Action nouns refer to actions, as their name implies. They are often formed from verbs.

我是这么理解的，仅供参考：critique在这里的意思更偏向于“评论，文章”，而不是“批评”的名词。所以它不是动作名词。要注意不是有动词词根的词都叫动作名词（只是often），而是它本身表示的就是动词的含义，只是以名词形式呈现给你。
附上曼哈顿论坛上RON的解释：

"critique" is an action verb, "his envisioning of ......" is a complex gerund, action verb and complex gerund can be parallel. maybe I am wrong, please clarify, thank you very much!

[size=14.007px]I don't have any idea what "complex gerund" means, so I will sidestep that part of the discussion.

[size=14.0084px]Parallelism is a RELATIVE decision"”a "beauty contest".

[size=14.007px]What you're doing"”trying to look at an [size=14.0084px]individual choice[size=14.007px] and judge whether it's "parallel""”is needlessly fraught.
[size=14.007px]Just [size=14.0084px]compare[size=14.007px].

[size=14.007px]* a critique ... a vision
[size=14.007px]* a critique ... his envisioning

[size=14.007px]There's a very clear winner and a very clear loser here.

[size=14.007px]Don't make this harder than it is.
[size=14.007px]

以下是曼哈顿另一staff给的回答：
[size=14.007px]B sounds like he is critiquing his own envisioning. This is the parallelism problem with this one.
