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

答案是E,平行的词分别是:propose,suggest,are calling,关键是A为什么不对?
能否说A平行的部分省略了谓语(propose to combat widespread illegal copying
of computer programs)?这样平行的词就成了by attempting to,by suggesting,
by calling for,而且从逻辑意思来看,该句子要比较的是combat illegal copying
的方式,而不是一部分人propose,一部分人不propose,其实从所给答案来看,
三部分人都是propose combat的.

a?
主句呢？

anchoret

A中others后面缺少谓语

A中谓语共用(propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs),由于太长,所以省略了.这样理解行不行?而且A中的三个by同样很对称啊.

省略谓语？？？不可以。

gu946

在比较的时候通常助动词是可以省略的啊,这里不能省略谓语?

为什么必须用are calling 而不用call 呢？

心静

A）中，前面是个while 引导的从句，后面的部分应该是个独立完整的句子，但这里by suggesting 。。。。。缺少谓语，句子不完整。

什么需要平行，该平行的东西是什么。
先是要清楚的。不是为平行而造平行。
A你的意图是 attempt suggest call 平行，这就错了。attempt与后2个词意义上不对称且后2句都用BY，就fragment了。3个都是实意动词。
propose suggest call 才能对成。
为什么不用call   用 are calling？用CALL 没错是肯定。但本题答案不需要区别这2个。be doing进行时 和一般现在时在这个题目区别不大。
