Concept Tested: Comparison
Objects compared: Percentage spent on development of anti missile shield by US vs. percentage spent on nuclear missile technology by Republic of North Korea.
(A) In the United States, a larger percentage of the defense budget is spent on development of an anti-missile shield than is spent on nuclear missile technology in the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea. - Incorrect. Comparison error and Illogical. Appears as if spending in North Korea also happened in United States. A larger percentage is spent on X than on Y. A larger percentage is spent on X than is on Y is wrong.
(B) In the United States they spend a larger percentage of the defense budget on development of an anti-missile shield than the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea does on nuclear missile technology. - Pronoun error.
(C) A larger percentage of the United States’ defense budget is spent on development of an anti-missile shield than the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea spends on nuclear missile technology. - Incorrect. Percentage spent is compared with spending of North Korea.
(D) The United States spends a larger percentage of its defense budget developing its anti-missile shield than the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea spending on nuclear missile technology. - Incorrect. Usage of 'developing' and 'spending' makes the sentence appear awkward.
(E) The United States spends a larger percentage of its defense budget on developing its anti-missile shield than the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea does on nuclear missile technology. - Correct.
