OG 233

233. Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.fficeffice" />

(A)     fatigue among shift workers, and have raised

(B)     fatigue among shift workers, and raised

(C)     and fatigue among shift workers while raising

(D)     lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised

(E)         and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising

The best answer, C, grammatically states that the equations... have reduced x, y, and i. and have raised efficiency. Choices A and B fail to use and to signal that fatigue among shift workers completes the series begun by have reduced, and so produce awkward and unclear sentences. Both D and E fail to use and to introduce the last item in the list, which is sleeping in these constructions. In E, while raising has no logical referent, producing only the absurd statement that fatigue has raised efficiency.

i don't see a big difference between A and C. OG's explanation itself looks awkward to me???

If the conjunction "and" is added before "fatigue among shift workers"    , choice A will be correct in grammar.

这题是多层次平行的问题。


结构为：have reduced A1, A2 and    A3 and raised B.             A1, A2, A3 小平行。 reduced 和raised 大平行。每个层次结尾的部分必须有连词连接。

so basiclly there has to be an "and" instead of a "," between A2 and A3, otherwise it is not grammatically correct?

yeah.

Why used "raising" instead of "have raised" in C?

Thanks!

对A仍有疑问：
语法书上说：并列结构有时可全用逗号，在修辞色彩上给人以紧张、急促、明快、利落的感觉。例：
Individuals are less troubled by feelings of guilt when they share responsibility for killings with a group - a street gang, lynch mob, terrorist organization.

Recently implemented “shift-work equations” based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries.

(A) fatigue among shift workers, and have raised

(B) fatigue among shift workers, and raised

(C) and fatigue among shift workers while raising

(D) lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised（C）

(E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising

此选项用时态强制使raise与前面reduce平行，怎么就produce awkward and unclear sentences了？请NN解答

先给你鼓励鼓励, 因为有人跟我有大同小异的问题..http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&id=59052&star=1#1206013

只是我的是关于 DE OG 解释说不加AND是错的...

I thought "and" linking a parallel structure sometimes can be omitted if the two that "and" is linking together express same importance in the sentence...therefore the OG explanation about DE saying DE fail to use "and" to introduce the last item in the list, which is sleeping in these constructions..is contradicted to another OG's question (sorry can't find exact number now)

--a separate, required course

Please HELP!!
