我在C,D中犹豫

cooking和taking意思不平行，不能比较

故选D

我的问题怎么都不见了。。。。只有题。。。

什么叫意思平行不能比较呢？

谢谢哈：）

Zeldaw

汗，我想说不平行，结果........最关键的一个字没打

irinamm

。。。。恩，我还是不理解。。。。详细点可以么？

Zeldaw

应该是意思说在句意上不平行

cooking应该对应的是medicinal use

如果要动名词平行的话,我个人认为应该是，不过

unlike taking spice for cooking, taking spices for medicinal use is done..........

D is right..

我怎么觉得D也不太平行呢

 In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken

in large quantities。

in cooking 和in medicinal usage确实平行了,可后面黄色的部分并不平行啊~~~前者做主语，后者做补语。知道答案后，通过比较也只能选这个了，但是如果不知道答案，我很可能通过这个就把 这个选项派出了。

请问，在平行题目中，到底什么是必须平行的，什么是可以妥协的？

原来做OG的时候认为最简单的题目类型，到了prep却一错再错。。。。请nn指点～～

比目鱼鱼好勤奋，今天看你一天都在坛子上;-)

我觉得GMAC的人明白这道题目是为了混淆人眼出成这样,我也同问大牛牛
In cooking, small quantities of spices are used,
whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken in large quantities。

如果我来写这句话就是 
In cooking spices are used in small quantities whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken in large quatities.

unlike/like是介词，用于比较，比较对象要对等（性质、功能、形式等），对平行的要求比较高。

whereas是连词，连接了两个句子，不需要在形式上完全对等的。

OG中也不乏这样的例子。
