Flight simulators

by zaarathelab » Sat Aug 20, 2011 4:49 am
Researchers are using computer images to help surgeons plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do for pilots, letting medical personnel practice their techniques and test their reflexes before they ever see a patient.

A. plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do
B. plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators
C. to plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators
D. plan difficult operations and in developing programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as flight simulators
E. to plan difficult operations and developing programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators do

OA IS A

Question: A VS B

[spoiler]Is it that A exhibits better parallelism 'same way that flight simulators do for pilots'

B: 'The same way as with flight simulators' is awkward[/spoiler]

A is the winner here.

B has a bunch of problems.

First of all
plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors is incorrect.
It should be
plan difficult operations and develop programs THAT work for doctors .

Secondly it distorts meaning. It seems to indicate that the computer images work the same way with the flight simulators for pilots and not the programs that work the same way as flight simulators work for pilots.

A. plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do -------- maintains proper parallelism i.e to help surgeons plan xxxx and to develop programs.Secondly, uses the right action verb do, also maintains parallelism between the same way as flight simulators work

B. plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators ---------> as with flight simulators what?????? this creates unparallelism & also is awkward construction
