B - 'As with the case of' sounds wordy and wrong
C - Comparison b/w  traditional pharmacies  and  prescriptions .
D - Incorrect Idiom
E - Subject-Verb agreement error

zonk · Answer

I would go with C.

A. "As it is" is wrong
B. "As with the case of" is wrong
C. Correct
D. Wrong use of As...So idiom
E. incorrect comparison of traditional pharmacies to cornerstone of a successful on-line drugstore

eyunni · Answer

C sounds better.

In (A), "As it is with traditional pharmacies" also has a secondary meaning.

In (B), 'have success' is awkward, successful is better.

In (D), As traditional pharmacies, so.... is incorrect because 'As' needs a clause

In (E), Like traditional pharmacies, the cornerstone - incorrect because of modifier problem

nmohindru · Answer

IMO C)

The comparison has to be between prescriptions

balboa · Answer

OA is C.

bigfernhead · Answer

In C) it says "Prescriptions  are  the  cornerstone ..."

Shouldn't cornerstone be plural, because prescriptions are plural?
Or Prescription be singular to match with cornerstone?

stallone · Answer

here is what i think :

B to have success , sounds odd

C its comparing pharmacies (plural) with drug store (singular) ; so i wudnt count on it (dunno why the OA is c)

D as...,so... wrong

E wrong comparison...

do you guys agree with my view over C ?

x2suresh · Answer

A) on-line drugstores rely on prescriptions to be successful
 --Here it is ambiguous.. can lead to twomeaning.
whether "on-line drugsstores to be successful" or " prescriptions to be successful

B) same as A.

C) proper comparison
 prescriptions are cornerstone of successful online drugstores, as is the case with   traditional pharmacies.

D)Same as A

E) comparing "traditonal pharmacy" with "cornerstone"
 improper comparision.

C is the best

hanumayamma · Answer

This is good one.

The Sentence is describing the importance of the prescriptions; relating two types of pharmacies.

So it is better to have “Prescriptions” as the subject of the sentence.

A – “It” is not clear referent 
B – As is used to compare clauses – here “As” is missing verb; 
C – The comparison correctly modifies “Prescriptions” 
D – As,,So – unidiomatic
E – Incorrect comparison
