大牛们,请教一道题

如下:

While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.

(A)  by suggesting reducing software prices to
                decrease the incentive for pirating, and still
                others by calling

(B)  by suggesting the reduction of software prices
                to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still
                others call

(C)  suggest the reduction of software prices for
                decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call

(D)  suggest the reduction of software prices to
                decrease the incentive for pirating, and still
                others by calling

(E)  suggest reducing software prices to decrease the
                incentive for pirating, and still others are
                calling

Choice E, the best answer, uses constructions that are parallel to some propose', others suggest. . . , and still others are calling .... Choices A and B immediately lose the parallel construction, and also produce sentence fragments, by shifting to by suggesting ... and by calling .... Choice B starts like choice A and then shifts back to the verb call, losing the parallel with the second part (by suggesting). Choices C and D correctly begin the second part of the parallel by using suggest. Choice C, however, introduces the nonidiomatic for decreasing, which creates some difficulty in meaning. Choice D loses parallel construction in the third part by shifting to by calling.

请问各位,这个题该作何解释?

by attempting.....others by suggest reducing.....still others are calling.....这是什么道理什么逻辑呀?看半天没回过神来,哪位大牛帮看看,分析分析指点迷津,小女子感激不尽了~~~

尽管一些人提出通过尝试改变人们对盗版的态度来与不合法的盗版斗争,另一些人却建议降低软件的价格来降低盗版的目的性,并且还有人正在起诉盗版的人。

不能把others suggest和前面的by attempting to 对应,而应该和前面的propose to对应,所以A,B错。

suggest 。。。to do。。。应该是常见的搭配,C错

E中reducing前省略了by,就是前面你想比较的by attempting to ,所以D错,当然了,后面的are calling也可以是call什么的,无所谓了,但是绝对不能是by calling,因为这里的call是要和propose,suggest对应的。

所以答案是E,下面是正常情况下的语序和by的补出,你再看一下应该就可以明白了,希望对你有帮助!

While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating, others  suggest to decrease the incentive for pirating (by) reducing software prices , and still others are calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally

E是最好的,其他几个都有较明显漏洞。但有一点我不太肯定:suggest reducing   ,有哪位能讲下suggest的搭配,suggest doing这种用法在GMAT中合适么?谢谢
