Unlike X, Y is correct comparison ..

Further Paralellism is maintained..

Quote:
unlike men who took new .................., womenwho did ..............

Please post the OA with OE..

Great analysis! C is indeed the OA because it maintains the unlike x... y idiom

A) different from - INCORRECT, changes the intended meaning of the sentence. Its not men that are different from women

B) unlike with - INCORRECT, use of with is incorrect here in comparison

C) unlike - CORRECT, Perfect use of comparison, UNLIKE X, Y ( Unlike Men who took, women who did......)

D) unlike the results for - INCORRECT, we are not comparing results

E) compared to the results for - INCORRECT, we are not comparing results
