The parachutelike membranes of Africa's scaly-tailed flying squirrels differ from those of the flying squirrels in the family Sciuridae because they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of the wrist.      

(A) because they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of
(B) because of being attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow rather than at
(C) in their attachment to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of being attached at
(D) in that they are attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow rather than at
(E) in their being attached to a cartilage rod at the elbow instead of答案是B
我想问下大家，D中的they不会错误指代吗？为什么不是就近指代呢？

主从对位指代算是平行指代的一种。
平行位置的指代读者很容易读出指代对象的，所以不存在歧义，they能够很容易读出是指代The parachutelike membranes.

不会有歧义吧
A不同B是in that...they如何如何逻辑上应该是指前者,即A,这里没有冲突

如果是后者怎么怎么样那是应该强调下

请问，是不是they 指代的都是parachutelike，只是不同品种的squirrels 的之间的不同，跟

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.



A.      that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

B.      that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

C.      that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

D.      CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

这里的their一样，都是指代工资，根据一定的平行结构，这里的their pay 默认指代CEO，所以，不存在歧义性？

their pay中的their指代blue-collar workers. 因为 419 times someone's pay和42 times someone's pay平行，所以后面和someone和前面的someone能够清晰指代，没有歧义

A.  instead of 前后不对称。而且instead of一般不用与介词的比较啊！
B.because of 不接复杂结构。特别是不接动名词。一般接名词，就算名词有修饰也要中心名词明确。
C.instead of 前后不对称啊。being也不对
D.我觉得根据平行只能选这个，很对称啊！
E.instead of前后不对称。
感觉这题不用考虑they啊！答案是D吧！？但是我的问题是in that表原因这个结构一般不是都避免的么！
真心不知道了。。坐等解释。

同问。有人解析吗？
