The right answer here should be C. The primary concept being tested here is that of parallelism, with a bit of pronoun necessity thrown in. Since the end of the sentence, which is non-underlined, goes "the passage is to comprehend", the first part of the comparison should also follow the same structure.
A - The use of 'they' is very unnecessary here. Who is the 'they' doing this rating? OUT
B - "it is that much more difficult the passage" simply doesn't line up unless you're trying to talk like Yoda. Always remember that the non-underlined part is set in stone. OUT
C - The higher the x, the more difficult the y. This is an example of correct parallelism, and it is clear what is being measured. CORRECT
D - Close, but breaks the parallelism. "the higher" should be followed by "the more difficult". OUT
E - Going with a different syntax is not wrong by itself. The sentence could go "when a passage...., it is more difficult to comprehend". However, we already have a fixed ending that is not compatible with this syntax. OUT
Always rely on what is confirmed to be correct to make the underlined portion agree with it.
