Although over the last century many Americans faced discrimination and unfair censure in the name of national loyalty, a case can be made that democracy may fare better in a climate of patriotic sensibility rather than constant criticism.
Prethinking :
1. Parallelism : patriotic sensibility vs constant criticism.
a) that democracy may fare better in a climate of patriotic sensibility rather than
>> compare nouns( rather than shows preference)- make sense . since there is no preposition before “constant criticism” then constant criticism can only be compared with “patriotic sensibility”
I will buy a bag full of chocolates rather than( bag full of )candies;( bag full of)-goes silent
>> a climate of patriotic sensibility(simple and concise)
>>- better than is right but better rather than is wrong
Preference: I will have tea rather than coffee OR I will have a cup of tea rather than coffee.
>> What you are saying is that you would prefer tea but if tea is not available you will be ok with coffee as well.
>> I will buy a bag full of chocolates rather than candies. ( bag full of)-goes silent
b) for democracy faring better in a climate of patriotism rather than-WRONG
>> a case can be made for democracy – wrong meaning
>>wrong parallelism ; as preposition is missing
c) that democracy may fare best in a climate of patriotic sensibility instead of through-WRONG
>> Issue1: ambiguous
that democracy may fare best through constant criticism.
that democracy may fare best in climate through constant criticism
issue2: fare best; why best? We are only comparing 2 items.
Issue3: Instead of : used with nouns ( through xx is prepositional phrase)
Hence wrong
Replacement: I will have tea instead of coffee. OR I will have a cup of tea instead of a coffee.
>>Here you are not just expressing preference but rather you are replacing one option with another; so no coffee, only tea.
d) that democracy may fare better in a climate characterized by patriotism than in-WRONG
>>better in X than in Y is OK but democracy may fare better in climate than in constant criticism.- wrong logical meaning
e) that democracy may fare better in a climate characterized by patriotism than in one of-CORRECT
>> better in X than in Y is OK
>> democracy may fare better in a climate characterized by patriotism than in one of climate?
"Ones" = used ONLY with a modifier/description that further narrows the group.: one means among climate(e.g. he saw many clothes but picked one.)
>> climate characterized by patriotism: we have no other option concise and simple available
