A. baseball fields vary considerably in both size and shape

B. baseball fields vary considerably, in size as well as in shape

C. baseball is played on a field that varies considerably in both size and shape

D. baseball is played on fields that vary considerably in both size and shape

E. baseball is played on a field that varies considerably in size as well as in shape


A & B are incorrect since they compare "football" with "baseball fields".

C & E lose parallelism since "fields" has to be paired with "fields" and not "a field".

So IMO answer is D.

Re: Unlike football, which is played on standardized fields, baseball fiel [#permalink]
IMO the correct answer is D

Unlike football, which is played on standardized fields, baseball fields vary considerably in both size and shape.

A. baseball fields vary considerably in both size and shape - "Unlike football, ...." - "football" is incorrectly compared with "baseball fields" - Incorrect

B. baseball fields vary considerably, in size as well as in shape - Same as option A

C. baseball is played on a field that varies considerably in both size and shape - The above error is rectified, whereas, a new meaning error is introduced...."on a field that varies considerably in both size and shape" - meaning a single field can vary in size and shape - Incorrect

D. baseball is played on fields that vary considerably in both size and shape - CORRECT

E. baseball is played on a field that varies considerably in size as well as in shape - Same as Option C
