987-23

23  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

我选b 两个问题：

1 first of all 是和 second 并列？

2 first中是for doing ，那为什么后面就变成 that+clause的形式了？

求解，谢谢！

first of all不是副词吗？怎么会和second并列？second不是形容词吗？

first of all = first

first, second, third,fourth.....

不好意思，结构平行看得不大清楚：

for,first,a ... and for b?

第二个for不重复吗？如果for, first, a and b 不可以吗？
