53. The nineteenth century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early experiments in his “Essay on Heat and Light,” a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.
(A) a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a
(B) a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a
(C) a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as well
(D) critiquing all chemistry from Robert Boyle forward and also a vision of
(E) critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own envisioning of
Parallelism; Rhetorical construction
The main objective of the sentence is to describe “Essay on Heat and Light” as Davy’s presentation of his own experiments and to further explain that the essay served as both a critique of previous chemistry and a vision of a new kind of chemistry. The clearest, most effective form for providing this explanation of the essay’s function is to make
critique and vision both appositives of “Essay on Heat and Light,” and to present them in a parallel structure.
我的疑问如下:(A的平行最好无疑问,可是as well as 也不要求平行呀...) and 和 as well as 不能替换,and 表示并列关系;as well as表示一种从属关系,从属部分去掉对句子的语法不产生影响(这个无疑问)。 在og解释中,有这么一句话:the essay served as both a critique of previous chemistry and a vision of a new kind of chemistry.我自己也觉得a critique of previous chemistry 和a vision of a new kind of chemistry 从逻辑上来看也应该是并列关系,再者 as well as 也不是平行标识(也就是说as well as 前后不一定要平行,这点不是非常确定,但是查了Manhattan上面列举的平行标识没有这个),所以权衡了下选了 B
Og 上解释说Critique and his envisioning are not parallel,但是词性是一样的,在广义上也可以说是平行的。
