Scientific evidence suggests that the benefits arising from consumption of alcohol are greatest with alcohol that is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis than when it is consumed on binges.
(A) with alcohol that is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis than when it is consumed
(B) with taking alcohol with meals on a moderate, regular basis as opposed to its consumption
(C) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis, rather than consuming it
(D) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis rather than consumed
(E) when alcohol, taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis, and not consumed
(A) with alcohol that is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis than when it is consumed
(B) with taking alcohol with meals on a moderate, regular basis as opposed to its consumption
(C) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis, rather than consuming it
(D) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis rather than consumed
(E) when alcohol, taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis, and not consumed
I narrowed it down to C and D. A,B uses with E changes meaning.. I'm more inclined to D as I see the structure when alcohol is taken rather than when alcohol is consumed Can someone provide a detailed analysis! Thanks

Well the first split is "with" VS "when". As we are talking about a thing that happens when something else also happens, "when" is correct.
I would not say that E changes the meaning, I would say that E is not a complete sentence:
(E) when alcohol (, taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis,-modifier-) and not consumed
taken is a modifier and the sentence looks like : when alcohol and not consumed. Clearly wrong
(C) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis, rather than consuming it
(D) when alcohol is taken with meals on a moderate, regular basis rather than consumed
consumed or consuming it? You very rarely can determine the correct verb just by looking at it, you have to take a broader look.
Both setences have "taken", so the verb that follows "rather" must mantain the parallelism. D hence is correct

hi ,
i think there is a parallelism error in option C
alcohol consumption greatest beneficial when
alcohol is taken with meals on ......
rather than when...consuming it on binge(very fast pace)==>this part has error..because of presence of IT in between....
taken with meals ON.......rather than when consumed ON==>THIS SHOWS THE CORRECT PARALLELISM as in option D.
KUDOS if it helped.
