Blair15 Option D is incorrect because the modifier "With a poor credit score" should be a restricted modifier and should modify "borrower". This is because the sentence is not concerned with any borrower or all borrowers but only with "A borrower with a poor credit score".

A borrower who cannot qualify for prime financing with a poor credit score should avoid sub-prime loans and instead work on rebuilding their credit.


A. A borrower who cannot qualify for prime financing with a poor credit score should avoid subprime loans and instead work on rebuilding their credit

B. A borrower with a poor credit score who cannot qualify for prime financing should avoid subprime loans and instead work to rebuild his credit

C. A borrower with a poor credit score should work on rebuilding their credit instead of settling for a subprime loan

D. With a poor credit score, a borrower who cannot qualify for prime financing should avoid subprime loans, working instead on rebuilding credit

E. A borrower who cannot qualify for prime financing should avoid subprime loans and instead, with a poor credit score, work on rebuilding his credit




OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



Answer: B.

The phrase “with a poor credit score” rightly modifies the noun “borrower.” That eliminates choices A and E. Choice C uses the pronoun “their” when a singular pronoun is required. In choice D, the phrase “working instead on rebuilding credit” is awkwardly placed in the sentence.
