IMO C....
|| ism ...full cost of home health care..........but not of....
In B..I think...particpal phrase ..."making benefeciaries pay...." modify nonhospital services....which changes the menaing ...bcoz it is not nonhospitla services,which is making benfeciaries pay...it is the insurance plan that doesn't cover such services...Plz elaborate if I m wrong...

Agree with age. Parellelism is the error. ".. full cost of... but not of.." Is C the answer?

C
B is wrong - it makes it unclear what clause the 20% payment refers to, the home care, or non-hospital service.

IMO C Narrowed it down to B and C for || ism ... in B the -ing form ideally modifies a verb where as we are looking to modify non hospital services "for which" makes that clear.

i checked the web .. OA is indeed C i think the problem with B is that sentence discusses the costs, which not covered by US govt, not the action that makes them pay 20%. so the correct choice is C. In B, 'making' focuses on the action.

Why do you think that B is incorrect. The united states government COVERS ,the full cost of hhc but not of x, ........--->we must use a word to imply an I ongoing action. A "must pay" poses as a rule. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Please correct me if I am wrong. IMHO. Choice B is a bit confusing. That is, the modifier can be taken to be modifying the entire clause. i.e It can mean something like "To cover the full cost for home health care but no hospital services, Medicare makes the beneficiaries pay 20%." As you see from the structure itself, this is not what the sentence wants to convey. The "paying 20%" modifier is meant for only "hospital services" and hence "which" or in this case "for which" is a better option. This is my reasoning although I think an expert's opinion would shed better light. Kudos Please... If my post helped.

Medicare, the United States government’s health insurance
program for the elderly and disabled, covers the full cost of
home health care, but not of non hospital services,MAKING The clause in GREEN is MAKING as per choice (B). What is wrong in that?

The clause in GREEN is MAKING as per choice (B).
What is wrong in that? As I have mentioned in my previous post, making should NOT modify the entire clause... The additional charges are ONLY for the non hospital services and not for the entire program..
