The school board decided
to reduce the number of children attending the after-school
program, to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and they decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger.
(A) program,
to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and
they decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger --> not parallel
(B) program,
to make greater the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and t
hey decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities greater --> same as A
(C) program,
to make greater the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and
it decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities greater
(D) program and
to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and it also decided to allocate more money to extracurricular activities -->
correct: (1) "to increase" is parallel w/ "to reduce", (2) "it also decided to allocate" is parallel w/ "The school board decided to reduce"
(E) program,
and to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger --> double "and"s > right: "to reduce, to increase and to make" , wrong: "to reduce, and to increase, and to make"
