1. ABC的in addition to and besides 都是介词用法,后面接名词或者名词成分,例如动名词和从句。最大的错误是两个用语后面的名词成分都必须在句子中与一个成份形成实际意义上的语义逻辑上的平行关系。而ABC里的possibility在后面句子中找不到对应的词。

【Country X’s recent stock-trading scandal should not diminish investors’ confidence in the country’s stock market.】则是main conclusion
Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank (evidence 1), the bank’s depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending fi nancial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s fi nancial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. (conclusion 1) Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic(conclusion 2), however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company’s health (evidence 2).

(3) namely后面跟从句解释前面的名词成分; e.g.: On the next trip, I solved part of the problem, but after discussing the situation with AB on the phone an alternative solution was at hand; namely, that from 1987 onwards I would spend my winters playing for Queensland.
