answer should be (D) Mary Leakey's contributions to archaeology include her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting.

The opening phrase is talking about her work and saying "in addition to" her work on the fossil record - so we need to say what it is that is referring to this work. Her work on the fossil record was one of her contributions, just as her discovery of hominid activity was one of her contributions. But that's pretty subtle - if you're reading too quickly, you'll think that the opening modifier is referring to Mary Leakey and so we need to have her follow the comma. (But that's not really what's going on - what's actually going on is that we have a list of 3 contributions, but one comes at the beginning of the sentence and the other two come towards the end.)

不好意思，顶了老帖。在看这题的PREP解释是，我确实觉得答案有问题。

我认为五个选项都有问题。

因为当介词短语位于句首时，应考虑逻辑主语的问题，但是A的逻辑主语是一个人，而in addition to之后是一个作品，一样东西，明显不合逻辑啊。

而选项D，除了改正了正确的逻辑关系之外，在include之后确实不平行。

选项E，我同意楼上关于不平行的说法，但是左看右看，都觉得E是问题最小的了。

但是prep的答案不是应该无争议吗？这真是原题？

啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
