In addition to her work on the Miocene hominid fossil record, Mary Leakey contributed to archaeology with her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity and painstakingly documenting East African cave paintings.

 

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

答案为D   不理解,如果D 对的话,那么E 错在哪里呢?动词不是比抽象名词更加好么?

動詞有自己的名詞型態時 請盡量用名詞型態

動名詞 有動作(比方說鳥展翅而飛）的含意, 但在這個句子 想說明的是Mary 的成就, 因此名詞比較恰當.

個人淺見.

同意楼上的。

XDF老师说过，动词有自己的名词时就不用动名词,比如:transmit--transmission,不用transmitting

这里也是一样的。

我认为in addition to 在句首暗示逻辑主语是后面句子主语，同时也引起对称（her work与Leakey's contributions）。 另外，E项end连接的discoverying 动词和painstaking documentation 名词 不对称。

是对称结构的问题~~~~and前后形式对称~~~
