一道特严肃的问题，GMAT大原则在这个题中的矛盾！

寂寞的自由

21 Unlike the lives of Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, subjects of other Troyat biographies, Chekhov belongs to the twentieth century, an age of fretfulness and melancholy skepticism.  C
(A) Unlike the lives of Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, subjects of other Troyat biographies, Chekhov belongs
(B) Chekhov, unlike the other Troyat biographies of Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, belongs
(C) The life of Chekhov, unlike the lives of the subjects of other Troyat biographies, Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, belongs
(D) Chekhov and his life, unlike that of the other Troyat biographies--- Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, belong
(E) The life of Chekhov, unlike that of other Troyat biographies of Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoi, and Dostoevski, belongs
疑问：好象GMAT要求UNLIKE不能放在句子当中或者句尾，而只能放在句首啊！！

寂寞的自由

不好意思，正确答案是C，我又是蒙对的，但怀着忐忑不安的心选的，因为UNLIKE好象只能放句首哦！！！

欧阳可情

是不是可以这样理解，unlike放在句首的A比较双方不平行啊，一边是lives一边是 chekhov。根据这个原则只有C对啊

C:  the life of A, unlike the lives of B, belongs to C. (the life of A belongs to C)
If we change A to ---unlike the lives of B, the life of A belongs to C. (No comma before belongs.) this one is also correct.  Comments? Please

记得老师说的是like(unlike)一般放句首吧，比如这个：

   541.    Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors.
(A) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors
(B) merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors
(C) merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do
(D) and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in unclear reactors
(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart
   答案是E

我认为放句首还是句中要根据句意来定。unlike到底放句首是否正确，其实还是要看平行结构的正确与否

根据句子逻辑关系的。记得有个例子是放在句中，有歧意，后来选了 AS得那项。

在这句子中 'unlike ...' 是插入语

C 有歧义，什么 as nuclear reactors do ？ ；可能还要深刻领会并列的含义
