I think it is 'E'.

Andy, thanks for the good SCs dude :good


A) different than the approach used by any other tenor
>> "different than" is unidiomatic. "approach used by" is passive voice. Also, this is not parallel

B) different from the approach used by any other tenor
>> "different from" is idiomatic but "approach used by" is passive voice. Also, this is not parallel.

C) different from the approach which is used by any other tenor
>> "which..." usage is unnecessary, wordy! "approach used by" is passive voice. Also, this is not parallel

D) different then the approach of any other tenor
>> Kick this choice out without mercy, "different then"??? :twisted:

E) different from the approach of any other tenor
>> I think this is the BEST. "different from", "approach of X"

D has proper llism.

B is in passive, so is wrong and also B would be more approperiate if it were "the approach used by x is different from the approach used by any other tenor"

E it is. His and of any other represent parallelism, but His and used by does not.
