In order to make skiing smoother, safer and
more enjoyable, a number of resorts have hired
consultants to design and sculpt the trails.

a) In order to make skiing smoother, safer and
more enjoyable, a number of resorts have hired
consultants
b) In order to make skiing smoother, safer, and more
enjoyable a number of consultants have been
hired by resorts
c) In the interest of making skiing smoother, safer,
and able to be enjoyed, a number of resorts have
hired consultants
d) To make skiing smoother, safer, so that you
can enjoy it, a number of resorts have hired
consultants
e) To make skiing smoother, also safer and
enjoyable, a number of resorts will have hired
consultants

Why not B or C?


My answer:
=======

A

A] In order to make skiing smoother, safer and more enjoyable, a number of resorts have hired consultants.



B] In order to make skiing smoother, safer, and more enjoyable a number of consultants have been hired by resorts.
Misplaced Modifier.


C] In the interest of making skiing smoother, safer, and able to be enjoyed, a number of resorts have hired consultants.
Poor Grammatical construction.


D] To make skiing smoother, safer, so that you can enjoy it, a number of resorts have hired consultants.
Poor Grammatical construction.



E] To make skiing smoother, also safer and enjoyable, a number of resorts will have hired consultants.
Poor Grammatical construction and Tense Issue.





Feel free to correct me, if I am wrong anywhere. :-)

The following question also tests parallelism.
Since smoother, safer and enjoyable are all related to skiing they should be parallel.
This leaves us with only A and B.
The wording of number of consultants have been hired by resorts changes the meaning of the sentence
