Only A and D maintain parallelism.

"where" in A is wrong imo.

Answer: D

....in a family with X than in a family with Y
So cancel B,C & E
Between A & D ....in A ,intended meaning is also changed by using 'and' before 'cares'
Ans D

The survey showed that children are much more psychologically stable when raised in a family with two parents than in a family where one parent only cares for the child.


(A) a family where one parent only

(B) of a family where only one parent

(C) that for families in which only one parent

(D) a family in which only one parent

(E) those of families in which one parent only

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The first thing you want to look at in this sentence is parallel structure. Because you say in the beginning ‘raised in a family’, you have to maintain the singular form of family. That eliminates choices C and E as possible answers. Also, the parallel structure carries over to prepositions. In the beginning, it says ‘raised in a family of x than in a family of y’. You have to maintain that structure of ‘in a family’. That leaves you with two possible choices: A and D. A uses the word ‘where’, which is incorrect. ‘Where’ refers to locations. The placement of ‘only’ in A and E is incorrect. It implies that the only thing this parent does is to care for a child. Choice D is the correct answer
