大家能不能看一下这道题，状语和平行的怎么区分？？？

choiken

During the Second World War, as one of the first civil-rights measures, the United States
Congress enacted legislation to allow all armed services personnel to be able to vote in
primary and general elections and not have to pay a poll tax.
(A) to allow all armed services personnel to be able to vote in primary and general elections and not have to pay
(B) to allow all armed services personnel to vote in primary and general elections, and they did not have to pay
(C) that allowed all armed services personnel that they could vote in primary and general
elections without paying
(D) allowing all armed services personnel to vote in primary and general elections without
paying
(E) allowing that all armed services personnel could vote in primary and general elections
and did not have to pay

纠结在b,c,使用平行结构还是状语修饰呢？感觉都说的通啊

这题明显选D吧。。。

首先allow是在说legislation的内容，而不是在说enable的目的，所以不用to do修饰enable，而该用定语修饰legislation，排除AB；
其次allow sb to do sth，不存在allow sb that的用法，排除C，而allow that sb could这个用法中allow是接受、承认的意思，与句义不符，排除E

正确答案显而易见是D。

如果你纠结的点在于B选项后面and与C后面without的部分，简单来说without做状语修饰vote，指的是vote的时候不需要交poll tax；而用and是在表达两个独立的事，后面的did not have to pay poll tax仿佛跟vote是分开的两件事。这里句义上显然是前者更为合理。

我举个例子吧，比如你新开了一家餐厅，想要搞新客户免费喝啤酒的促销，你应该说：
New customers can drink beer without paying anything.
意思是啤酒免费畅饮。

但如果你说：
New customers can drink beer, and they don't have to pay anything.
意思就变成了：新客户可以喝啤酒，并且他们什么都不需要付钱（不限于喝啤酒）。很有可能你要大亏。
