MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



As it stands the sentence implies that the comparison is between wines and wineries. This is not the case. You can compare wine with wine or wineries with wineries. Choices A and D have misplaced modifiers. The placement of ‘which’ next to ‘Germany’s’ in C is incorrect. ‘Which’ refers to Germany not Germany’s wines. It is not clear to what the ‘those’ in E refers. Grammatically it could refer to the wines or the wineries. Choice B is the correct answer.

A compares ‘wines’ to wineries, so its out
B sounds awkward
C compares Germany’s wineries to ‘upstate New York’. Out
D Wines are being compared to wineries again
E ‘those’ doesn’t have an antecedent

We are left with B. B is awkward but it is grammatically correct

Hello experts,
I have a prompt question about this one, so regarding choice E, is it possible to first put the pronoun, and then immediately the noun (wineries) OR is it mandatory to first have Wineries and then the pronoun those.

hi,
From the official explanation, it is stated that the choice (e) has ambiguity.

However, imo, “wineries” is stated right after the word “those” and “wines” is at the very last of the sentence.

How come this be ambiguity?

Yes it could. It could also refer to wines. The comparison of German's temp with NY's temp is also not the best. B is much, much better here.
