Commercial pilots receive their training from regional airlines with increasing frequency, often preferring to avoid the expense of the requirements of training offered by private companies and the service required by the Navy or Air Force.


(A) the requirements of training offered by private companies

(B) requirements offered for training by private companies

(C) the training requirements of private companies

(D) the training offered by private companies

(E) private companies' training

KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The original problem, at least as far as meaning is concerned, comes in the "expense of the requirements." It's not the requirements that are expensive but the training. Eliminate (A) and (B). (C) contains the same error because, even though it adds training before requirements, the object is still requirements (training only modifies it). (D) and (E) both offer training as the object and to that extent are both correct, but (E) isn't parallel with the service required later in the sentence. So (D) it is.

(B) requirements offered for training by private companies- Incorrect

(C) the training requirements of private companies- Incorrect

(D) the training offered by private companies-- Correct ; fixes parallelism issue - "training offered by private companies" is parallel to "service required by the Navy or Air Force"

(E) private companies' training- Incorrect
