请教一道白勇语法

While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people's attitude 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

C和E选择哪个呢？

misswmp

我选E.

suggest reducing 比suggest the reduction of 好.

to decrease 比for decreasing 好

still others are 比still others call好

reducing和calling平行

james0831

但是我怎么觉得call应该和suggest平行呢？ 为什么用进行式呢？

misswmp

我觉得,这里不应该是进行时,整个句子while....是状语,others...,still others....两个并列句子

第一个句谓语是 suggest, 第二个谓语是are("是"的意思)

何况others指propose,   still others call....illogical,应该是still others是call....

are calling for不是进行式么？

我觉得应该是propose, suggest, call for并列啊  怎么是“是呼吁”(are calling for)呢?

misswmp

sorry!是我理解错了,suggest, call for并列,

但我还是选E.

C is unidiomatic.

I think here "suggest" means "propose", the usage is suggest (that) ..... or suggest doing ......

Only when "suggest" means "indicate", can you use suggest + none.(as in option C)

I think C is correct answer.

suggest +名词，与后面的prosecution名词形式对应。

我也觉得选E。同意misswmp :

"suggest reducing 比suggest the reduction of 好.

to decrease 比for decreasing 好"

如果for decreasing好。那就没的比了。。
