2 Answer(s)

option c – eliminated because we are doing a comparison and use of ‘as’ is irrelevant

option a – eliminated because  it again uses verb ‘is’ after ‘and.’

option d – eliminated because ‘the floor’ is attractive and not ‘being attractive’ to the visitors; and improper use of verb ‘are’ .

option e- eliminated because ‘more’ is improperly placed and we should use pronoun ‘its’ in place of ‘the church’s ‘ in the end.

 

these are my logic’s and might be wrong.

Any correction is welcomed from all members.

Hi Riya,
