New research suggests that cash grants to the poor is as good, if not better than, many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.

A)is as good, if not better, than many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.
B)are as good, if not better than, many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.
C)are as good as, if not better than, many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.
D)are as good as, if not better, than many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.
E)is as good as, if not better, than many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty

Must be (C)

cash grants------------are ( Plural Subject Requires plural verb) { Options A & E out }

As x as Y is correct idiomatic and parallel usage hence (B) is out.

New research suggests that cash grants to the poor are as good as, if not better than, many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.

Check using option (D) error is easily recognisable -

New research suggests that cash grants to the poor are as good as, if not better, than many traditional forms of aid when it comes to reducing poverty.

Hence COrrect Answer has to be (C)
