怎么这会儿OG不强调平行了？ OG204

OG 204
204. In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.
(A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics
(B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers
(C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics
(D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers
(E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers

答案没问题。E。 OG的解释我也能看得明白。

但是有个问题，为什么这会儿OG不那么强调平行的重要性的。要照平行观点，我可能看都不看就选了D。

还是这个被动语态，什么时候算awkward 呀？ 关于各种语法点，大家有没有什么优先排除的顺序呀？

In my experience,
Logic > correct > idiom > parallelism > grammar
D中的执行者怪怪的！比较：
E) (breeder) to acquire certain characteristics in their steers 人去要求牛
D) certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers  特性被牛要求

谢谢。

请问partly前的comma可以去掉吗? 为什么这儿要有个comma?


Thanks!

这是一种修饰全句的写法。comma前是完整句子，这样partly之后的短语就是修饰前面全句的。如果没有comma，那变成修饰最靠近的名词，意思就不同了！

D) certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers  特性被牛要求

不明白为什么是被牛要求，steers 是什么？

有些结构是需要形式上面的平行的, 比如unlike, 有些就不用, 大家可以总结一下, 避免掉入ETS的平行陷阱.

acquire是取得,获得的意思....不是require要求....
