160. While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people’s attitudes toward pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.
(A) by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
(B) by suggesting the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(C) suggest the reduction of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(D) suggest the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
(E) suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling

Question 1:

E中为什么说suggest和are calling 是对称的？明显一个是一般现在时，一个是现在进行时

Questoin 2:

C中，为什么能说for pirating,但for dereasing是错的？

莫力GMAT 修辞16条规则

to / for 表目的

用to必对

N + for + Ving  (for表目的若后面为Ving, 则前面必为N, 要考虑N与Ving是否一致)

若句意没有表目的的意思, 则答案不要用.

JerryGuan

Choice E, the best answer, uses constructions that are parallel to some propose', others suggest. . . , and still others are calling ....

答案说E是结构平行。

至于时态的问题，偶只能自己体会到，不敢乱讲，有请其他猛牛吧。

我还是不懂C的for decreasing 为什么不对。前面reduction 就是名词，并且在这里for 后面就是表目的。软件价格的减少----目的----降低盗版的动机。

请大牛牛们 指点！

２楼的讲的应该是正解吧

用for doing 前面一定是名词，所以 for pirating前面用decreasing the incentive就不对了．
