Hi dop28
The question is testing us for comparison.
For a correct comparison, elements that are compared must be logically and grammatically parallel. Also, the comparison must be unambiguous. Observing these points, let's take a look at the question.
The opening modifier describes something that has "more member than Club X". For this reason, the modifer must be followed by "Club Y" and not "Club Y members". All the options that begin with "members" can be eliminated.
A-
the members of Club Y are more generous than those of
C-
the members of Club Y are more generous than they are in
D-
Club Y members are more generous than they are in
This leaves us with B and E.
B- Club Y has members that are more generous than those of
E-Club Y has a
membership more generous than
Option E incorrectly compares "membership" with "Club X".
Option B correctly compares "members of Club Y" with "members of Club X" and thus B is the correct answer choice.
Happy Prepping! :D
