OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
It has been proven that buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of double or even more than double your initial investment.
A. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of double or even more than double
This answer choice is stylisically flawed. The phrase double or even more than double is redundant. Look for a more concise answer choice.
What helps us identify this question as a redundancy question as well as identify this mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- x or (even) more than x
Remember that this is a specific redundancy that should be eliminated immediately, as if it were a grammatical mistake.
B. to buy shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of double or even more than double
This answer choice repeats the original mistake: the phrase double or even more than double is redundant. Look for a more concise answer choice.
C. buying shares in the ACME Corporation results in a loss of at least twice
While this answer choice corrects the original redundancy, it changes the meaning of the original sentence as a result of the omission of the word can.
D. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in a loss of at least double
CORRECT!
E. buying shares in the ACME Corporation can result in loss of at least twice
While this answer choice corrects the original redundancy, it is grammatically incorrect. The singular count noun loss must be preceded by an article (e.g., a loss, the loss).
