:?

Many criminologists argue that a substantial increase in the number of police personnel "walking the beat" should lead to lowering rates of crime, as well as lowering fears about public safety, a surge in public confidence in the police, and a lessening of the economic burden of street crime.

Another one for B

By PEO, narrowed down to B & C

The structure of the sentence is

... lowering of X, surge in Y and a lessening of Z.

A better substitution for X would be "crime rates and of fears about public safety" rather than "crime rates, along with fears about public safety" in the context of this statement.

why c is incorrect. IMO, it maintains Parallelism.

The problem with C is primarily one of meaning. It says that we should see a) a lowering of crime rates and b) fears about public safety, a surge . . . , and a lessening . . . . First, I don't know why we're separating "a lowering of crimes rates" from all the other items. Second, and more importantly, this makes it appear that "fears about public safety" is one of the results we'd see. This seems to be the opposite of the intended meaning--that we'd see a lowering of fears. Does that make sense?

By the way, this problem is a direct copy of #130 from OG12, discussed here: one-view-of-the-economy-contends-that-a-large-drop-in-oil-33830.html
