那D为什么前半部分不能使独立主格做伴随状语？我觉得如果前面是伴随状语没有错误啊
并且A太不靠谱了吧，这么明显的不平行当答案
D相对来说已经是最平行的了

我觉得“Coal代替charcoal作为fuel”：所以for the fuel的表达错误，排除BD，再由being排除CE作者: sorcerer 时间: 2011-9-2 21:17
我觉得B错就错在主语变了。
按照原句A选项的意思，应该是the average output做主语，而B中a tripling in the average output的中心词变成了a tripling,重心改变
这题我也选B了，不过后来仔细看，觉得就这一点足矣区别A,B的不同了。。
