是不是因为原版本有问题，GMAC改成了现在的版本呢？

总结一下这两道类似的题，并提出点个人意见：

1. In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record 是和主句宾语相并列的，所以不要再提有关逻辑主语的问题了。

2. 凡是主句宾语和“her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record ”在形式上不并列的选项都错。

3. PREP1-129相对而言稍简单，形式上并列的就只有A选项。而PREP2-66则较难，C和D形式上的并列都很好。相对而言，D选项表达的意思更加清楚。

如何能更有效的排除C选项，大家继续讨论。

查了一些资料：in addition to引导的分句的逻辑主语并不需要与主句的主语一致。
这题的解题点就是在平行，发现pp绝大多数的题都是用这个解题点突破的。

还有A，B选项用了documenting，我在听石林老师的课时，记得他说若是有其自己的名词形式尽量不要用动名词表示，所以这里的documenting完全可以用documentation表示。A和B就不对了。

顶一下"in addition to A, B … A和B不一定是同一类事物"的说法

longman里面"in addition to something"的例句给的是:

In addition to his movie work, Redford is known as a champion of environmental causes.

那么这题到底答案是什么呢？

我在prep破解里看到的答案是D.

gmat考试里到底in addition to 要不要求平行对称？

动名词和名词能否对称？

 

看了这么多讨论还是 不知道结论...

关于In addition to 也有些问题,介词短语置于句首,逻辑主语为主句主语,这个是通则么? in addition to 只是个特列?

如果是特列,那么还有什么词组和它是一样有特例的呢?

看到现在发现GMAT的语法实在太BT了,和文言文有一拼
