【求助】 PREP222 关于并列时的介词加不加的问题

ileroyoverstep

今天做到PREP的222题的时候，发现自己很不明白并列时候两个对象什么时候加介词什么时候不加。比如下面这道题里面，B选项是正确选项，红色字体里面并没有要求在 the United States前面加上in；D选项错的，因为没有在the United States前面加上in。我当时以为是people是名词，consume是动词，所以才有如此分别，但后来翻曼哈顿的时候看到一条例句，感觉又很迷糊了。

Although people inFrance consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, theirdeath rates from heart disease are far lower in France.

A.    people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their

B.    people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about thesame rate, the

C.    fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States's, their

D.     the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States isabout the same, the   (B)

E.    the rate of people consuming fatty foodsis about the samein France and the UnitedStates, the

曼哈顿是这样说的：

3．分层并列

无论并列的元素有多少，同一个并列连词连接的词必须逻辑层次一致，结构和词性相同！可以在一个句子同时用不同的并列连词，表示不同的层次。

Right: Sheargues THAT the agency acts WITH reckless abandon AND WITH disregardfor human life ANDproperty. AND THAT it should therefore be shutdown.

但我很不明白为什么这里disregard也是动词，之后的的property却没有加上for。这里求指点一下

嗯，谢谢哥们，已经明白了in的解释了，然后我下次也会注意排版的。然后结合语法笔记和搜索的一些资料，我对那个the rate of fatty foods的感受是“the rate of fatty foods错，不是foods的rate，而应该是consuming foods的rate，否则就成了“fatty food有50%消耗在法国，50%在美国”而不是“美国消耗的fatty food占总的食物百分比和法国消耗的fatty food占总的食物百分比的比较了”，不知道这样说起来会不会绕一点，但昨天搜索下来结果貌似比较偏向于rate而不是fatty foods。

Ron:

If you wanted to be very, very, very precise, you'd use "__ X and Y" to refer to a situation involving X and Y together, and "__ X and __ Y" to refer to two separate situations.

E.g.,
I've worked with Smith and Jones --> All three of us have worked together.
I've worked with Smith and with Jones --> I've worked separately with each of them.

There's no reason to use the second of these unless you want to make clear that you're talking about two separate situations. However, the first is often used for both"”i.e., regardless of whether X and Y were involved together or separately.

I don't know how exact GMAC's usage is on this issue.
Frankly, it doesn't matter. For this exam, the only thing you have to know is that both constructions are OK. There's absolutely no way a problem will test the difference between them.

我个人觉得D就算加了in也错了
the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States
consumed in France and the United States都是修饰语，
the rate of fatty foods不妥
改成the rate of fatty foods consumption可能还有救，如果后面部分没有太大问题

另外，第一眼把Sheargues看成人名
