Using Elimination:
A borrower is a singular but rebuilding their credit violate Subject Verb Agreement=> Eliminate A&C
In D option, violate parallelism between qualify and working
In E option, the reason for not qualifying for prime financing is not given rather the poor credit score is supplementing the statement.=> Eliminate E
IMO B should be the answer

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".

This is a SC Butler Question




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.
