A pluralistic democracy, in greater degree than any system of government, diffuses power away from a center.

(A) in greater degree than any
(B) which more than any
(C) to a greater extent than any
(D) as opposed to any other
(E) more than any other




This is a SC Butler Question



OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The correct answer is (E).

One problem with the original sentence is that it makes an illogical comparison, suggesting that a pluralistic democracy is not a system of government, when in fact it is. The solution is to add other to the end of the underlined phrase. A second problem with the original sentence is that in greater degree is not idiomatic; to a greater degree would be the appropriate idiom here. Choice (E) corrects the first error and avoids the second one by replacing in greater degree with the concise more.
