不过我的意思是说 concern 跟growing怎么并列？

AlienX

並列有很多種...很多時候不用每一個word都要並列.
妳可以看看OG, 很多的並列都不要求每一個word都要並列.

沒錯名詞片語不能跟分詞片語並列
her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity = noun phrase(名詞片語)

painstakingly documenting East African cave paintings = participle phrase(分詞片語)

    

可是
by concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund=prepositional phrase(介詞片語)
by growing fears of a rise in inflation=prepositional phrase
both of them are prepositional phrase
所以both [prepositional phrase] and [prepositional phrase]是okay.

(B) Leakey contributed to archaeology by her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and by painstakingly documenting

就比如这个B如果理解为是by....and by....的并列不也不对吗？我觉得不是看介词，而是看里边的“心儿”
