152. A
recent New York Times editorial criticized
the city’s election board for, first of all, failing to replace outmoded voting
machines prone to breakdowns, and secondarily, for their failure to
investigate allegations of corruption involving board members.

(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）

(E) second, for
failing to

the answer is e

非常容易从平行可以判断，但是我的问题是

（1） 1st of all 和 secound的修饰位置可以乱放的么？

我开始以为平行应该是这两个后面的平行，也就是我选了D

（2）secoundly和secoundarily是干什么用的？在什么地方可以出现？多谢各位了！～

longman:

secondly:

used when you want to give a second point or fact, or give a second reason for something
ￚsee also firstly Firstly, they are not efficient, and secondly, they are expensive to make.

secondary adj.; secondarily adv.

not as important as something else
the novel's secondary characters
secondary to
Writing was always secondary to spending time with my family.

这里的平行应该完全可以接受

ecsniffer，你觉得第二个for可以省略么？

这点我有点模糊了

1, first of all, second (of all), ...

2, firstly, secondly, thirdly, ... , lastly, ...

3, 你觉得第二个for可以省略么？-----> i don't think so. the emmission may cause imbiguitiy as the structure is not very clear since 'first of all' is 插入语

不可以的。这里是平行结构：for, first of all, doing -----,and second, for doing----.

这里的for加出来使得整个结构变得非常清晰。

thx~

but i'm still a bit puzzled by the parallelism here...

can"for doing" and "for that "be parallel?
