RE: OG Verbal Review 2016 – Q #101
Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.
(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did
(B) so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(C) as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those
(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they did
Can someone pls. clarify why option E is incorrect ?
Parallelism dictates this structure —
“land values in the pinelands rose almost as fast as what they did outside the pine lands.” — does this make sense to you?
Option D reads like this —
“land values in the pinelands rose almost as fast as land values outside the pine lands” — makes sense
