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
选D，prep解释说unlike后面只能跟名词，
我想问一下这个C选项unlike 后面的cooking是动名词吧？
“cooking with spices” 这个东西算动词还是名词短语？

谢谢lS2位~我看prep的解释说的是ABC错因为unlike后面只能跟名词，所以我想问ABC后面doing形式的短语不算名词吗？

You are right that "cooking with spices" is paralleled to  "taking spices (for

medicinal use)."

The problem with C)is that you CANNOT say "taking spices for medicinal use is done in

large quantities"; this sentence is nonsensical.  It is "spices" that are "taken in

large quantities," not "taking spices for medicinal use" that is "done in large

quantities."
