请教OG191

atongmu

191. Lawmakers are examining measures that would require banks to disclose all fees and account requirements in writing, provide free cashing of government checks, and to create basic savings accounts to carry minimal fees and require minimal initial deposits.
(A)    provide free cashing of government checks, and to create basic savings accounts to carry
(B)    provide free cashing of government checks, and creating basic savings accounts carrying
(C)    to provide free cashing of government checks, and creating basic savings accounts that carry
(D)    to provide free cashing of government checks, creating basic savings accounts to carry
(E)    to provide free cashing of government checks, and to create basic savings accounts that carry
Choice E, the best answer, is the only choice that maintains parallelism with the infinitive phrases to disclose..., [to] provide ..., and to create .... In A and B, the second element lacks the infinitive marker to. Choice C loses parallelism by shifting to a participial phrase, creating .... Choice D loses parallelism by dropping the conjunction and', a modification problem results because the participial phrase creating ... attaches to the noun checks, thus distorting the meaning of the last element of the parallel construction.

很多语法题中不定式并列后面都常常省略to，而这里明确指出to不能省，好像比较矛盾。请大虾解释一下！

这题中,若省略了,会有歧义.

我的意思是：如果第二和第三个并列元素全省略是不是就没问题了。从解释上来看，省略to本身就是错误。
也许有点钻牛角尖了。

我的一点小看法。在og的解释中，第二个动词，它的写法是disclose..., [to] provide ..., and to create ....，按照我读og的体例, 其意思应该是说 provide 之前的 to 是可以省略的，虽然在此没有省略。

不知大虾们以为然否？

你看得好细啊。

不同意四楼的仁兄。require sb to do sth是习惯用法，to 不可省。

whoami2

小妹，如果只有一个 require ... to, 我也认为不能省略，但现在是多个动词并列，后面的to可否省略的问题。

btw, 我最近一次的v只考了20分，所以，我也不敢胡说什么，只敢仔细看着og来说。还是让大虾们来说og没说的话吧

nn在哪里？

再问，到底那个To是省不省啊？
