同问啊，不是说like前后平行啊

名词和名词之间，当然可以平行。举个简单的例子，Like the sky, my tee is blue.

我做这道题的时候也有疑惑，但是正确答案很容易选出来，首先排除CDE，只剩下A&B，A错，因为sandpipers是复数，而后面谓语动词是单数，所以只剩下B选项可选。
从语义上讲是平衡的，只不过比较的不是一类东西，但是这两类东西有一个共同的性质就是都disappear了。做题的时候语意是王道。

筒子，你能不能不钻牛角尖啊？他们都是disappear了，都讲的是一个东西，为什么不可以？
gmat把它做为正确答案就证明它是对的，我们所做的就是记住。哦，原来还可以这样比较啊！
