Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken in large quantities in order to treat particular maladies.

 

 

(A) Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken

(B) Unlike spices that are used in cooking, in using spices for medicine, they are taken

(C) Unlike cooking with spices, taking spices for medicinal use is done
                        

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

(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken

此题选D，我选E。是在看不出E错哪里了？in small quantities和in large quantities不是很平行么？而且prep里说they有指代spices和quantities的可能，但是后面就有quantities啊，哪有quantities are taken in large quantities这么笨的想法？

E錯是因為the usage不可能in small quantities.

???为什么就不可能了？

看看they指代谁，然后看D用什么来替代E里面的they了，不过真奇怪，这句话的答案怎么把句子结构都给改了

1）(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken

they 指代不明~~ 即可指spices又可以指quantities

2）"the usage of spices is in small quantities" 表达也蛮怪的，quantities修饰中心词usage明显没有修饰spices好，spices是实名词， usage是从动词use转过来的抽象名词~

以上为个人意见

umm...hard to explain
but u can think about this way, what's "in small quantities"?
不是usage, 是spices
從D可以看出, small quantities of spices...

D用了spices代了A, B and E 中的they

恩，有点明白，D确实表达上比E舒服

谢谢大家

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

(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken

1) D 是两个被动并列 spice are used,  whereas spices are taken

2) E  the usage of spices is in small quantities 表达方式不好  they指代不明

1) D 是两个被动并列 spice are used,  whereas spices are taken
