High blood pressure in the U.S. population is significantly more prevalent than the Swiss population, although the Swiss eat more cheese from France and drink more beer from Belgium than Americans eat and drink.
Official Explanation:
A) High blood pressure in the U.S. population is significantly more prevalent than the Swiss population,
This version illogically compares how prevalent high blood pressure is in the U.S population with how prevalent the Swiss population is.
(Incorrect)
B) In the U.S., high blood pressure in the population is significantly more prevalent than in the Swiss,
Because this version opens with "in the U.S.," what is expressed by the clause that follows "in the U.S" is understood to be the case in the U.S. so, this version is subtly illogical, because it conveys that it is the case in the U.S. that high blood pressure in the population is more prevalent than in the Swiss, as if both "the population" and "the Swiss" are in the U.S. and high blood pressure is more prevalent in the former than in the latter.
(Incorrect)
C) In the U.S. population, high blood pressure is significantly more prevalent than it is in the Swiss population,
Because, in this version, "it" refers to "high blood pressure", this version logically compares how prevalent high blood pressure is in the U.S population with how prevalent it is in the Swiss population, as we can see by substituting "high blood pressure" for "it" in the sentence.
