Prep1-54-- they 指代

captain_mas

54.

Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken in large quantities in order to

treat particular maladies.

(A) Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken

(B) Unlike spices that are used in cooking, in using spices for medicine, they are taken

(C) Unlike cooking with spices, taking spices for medicinal use is done

(D) In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage
spices are taken

(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken

破解版给的解释是：they指代不清,可能指代quantities或者spices.

但我觉得E的问题是they根本无指代，因为前面的spices是修饰usage的。

感觉类似于In 1998, it was a year……。错误的原因在于in 1998 是修饰全句的时间状语，所以it 不能指代作为状语的1998一样。
大家觉得呢？open to discuss……

同意楼主的看法, 代词应该修饰核心名词

呵呵，谢谢你的提醒。

找unlike大方向是没问题的，是我太抠PREP的细节解释了

感觉应该在unlike这边下手，看看前后的修饰对象是不是可比,然后看整个结构是否平行。我也是新人，请指教。
