平行结构一问？

6. In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism's trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it.A.        trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating itB.        trying that it metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritantC.        attempt to try to metabolize, or render harmless, such a chemical irritantD.        attempt to try and metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritating itE.        attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritantAlthough an "-ing" verb such as trying can sometimes be used as a noun, the phrase the organism's trying to metabolize in A is unidiomatic because trying is used as the object of organism's. In B, trying that it metabolize is ungrammatical. The noun attempt could follow organism's; also, it would parallel the noun enzymes, and parallelism is needed here because the sentence uses the linking verb are to equate enzymes and attempt. In C and D, however, attempt to try is redundant. Choice E, which says attempt to metabolize, is best. The phrase the chemical irritant is also the most concise and precise conclusion for the sentence because it clearly refers to the dioxin mentioned earlier.


在lzm书中，没有提到are所连接的enzymes和attemp是平行结构，
平行结构在此处如何理解
如果按照og的理解来看，trying也是名词阿，应该也可以构成平行结构阿
那么平行结构除了lzm书中所说的之外，是不是are也应该看作是平行结构的一个标志阿

同意楼上的。
attempt是try的名词，就不用trying动名词形式。

偶个人对句子的理解是这样的:

In....,是个状语成分，对解题没什么用，可以不去看它；
主语： dioxin
动词：induces
宾语：the production of enzymes
that引导的是个从句，修饰enzymes（离that最近的名词），所以，后面的动词才要用are,这个跟是否并列好像没有什么关系。
