OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Step 1: Understanding Intended Meaning
The move will allow the company
both the securing of a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model
and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic telecom sector.
We are talking about a move. This move will allow the company to do something.
The use of “both” and “and” indicates a list and we need to check if the list has entities that are parallel
The entities in the list are not grammatically parallel
“the securing of ……model” is a phrase
“reduce…….sector” is a clause.
Correct version: both the entities should be phrases or clauses.
Intended meaning:
There is a move which will allow the company to
Both secure a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model
And reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic telecom sector
Step 2: Eliminate choices with identified errors
Checking for key aspects
1. Golden rules
a. No error
2. Lists
a. The entities in the list are not grammatically parallel
3. Tenses
a. No error
4. Idioms
a. No error
Eliminate
The following choice/s have one or more of the errors present in Choice A.
Choice D
A. allow the company both the securing of a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic telecom sector.
Option A Feedback:
Incorrect and Eliminated in Step 2
B. allow the company to both secure a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic telecom sector
Correct Option
Option B Feedback:
Fitting in the original sentence
The move will allow the company to both secure a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic telecom sector.
✓ Logical
✓ Clear,
✓ Same as the intended meaning
Correct Choice.
C. both allow the company the securing of a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model as well as reducing the dependence on the troubled domestic sector
Option C Feedback:
Fitting in the original sentence:
The move will both allow the company the securing of a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model as well as reducing the dependence on the troubled domestic sector.
The use of the two list markers together is incorrect.
Also the verb “allow” is common and should precede the list markers as shown in choice B.
Incorrect Choice.
D. allow the company both the securing of a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model as well as reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic sector
Option D Feedback:
Incorrect and Eliminated in Step 2
E. allow the company both to secure a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic sector
Option E Feedback:
Fitting in the original sentence:
The move will allow the company both to secure a unique revenue stream outside the traditional model and reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic sector.
The “to secure” should be made parallel by using “to reduce” otherwise the list is logically not parallel.
Removing the clutter in between we get:
The move will allow the company reduce the dependence on the troubled domestic sector
Incorrect Choice.
