54.

Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken in large quantities in order to treat particular maladies.

(A) Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken
(B) Unlike spices that are used in cooking, in using spices for medicine, they are taken
(C) Unlike cooking with spices, taking spices for medicinal use is done
(D) In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken
(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken
答案选D。但个人认为D答案并没有E好，因为E答案whereas前后更加平行，至于E中they指代不清也并不是什么大问题。个人觉得相对于指代来讲，平行更为重要。恳请牛牛解答。

代词指代可是一个非常容易错的考点

谢谢哈。这题E中的spices应该可以被当作先行词吧。

1. 几个选项都有代词，先别关注指代，只有那些个别选项有指代的情况，才会是指代错误
2.GMAC很少把指代问题拿出来单考，一般都有更严重的错误
3.像这道题they显得很突兀，因为前面没有先行词，那么这样的指代肯定是错误的

谢谢解答哈，但是做题的时候，they指代不清的选项有时候也会被选作正确答案。对指代这部分真有点拎不清。

whereas是唯一一个GMAC不怎么要求平行的连词，你可以看到很多whereas并不平行的句子在OG里面
反而在E中they的指代问题很严重，可以认为是人，物，这种指代错误是最严重的一种，没有precedent
