OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
In a recent survey of the real estate market, many buyers expressed that they would prefer to purchase a new house in a new neighborhood rather than to purchase an old house in a more desirable area that costs three times the price.
A. In a recent survey of the real estate market, many buyers expressed that they would prefer to purchase a new house in a new neighborhood rather than to purchase an old house in a more desirable area that costs three times
Not quite.
This answer choice is stylistically flawed. Three times is wordy as the same meaning can be expressed in fewer words. Look for a more concise answer choice.
B. In a recent survey of the real estate market, many buyers expressed that they would prefer to purchase a new house in a new neighborhood rather than to purchase an old house in a more desirable area that costs triple
This answer choice is grammatically correct and less wordy than the original sentence. In the original sentence, three times is wordy as the same meaning can be expressed with the word triple.
C. In a recent survey of the real estate market, many buyers expressed that they would prefer purchasing a new house in a new neighborhood rather than to purchase an old house in a more desirable area that costs triple
Not quite.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The construction A rather than B requires that A and B belong to the same part of speech. If A and B are unconjugated verbs, they should be of the same type. To purchase is a To verb whereas purchasing is a Verb+ing.
What helps you identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A rather than B
However, this answer choice is less wordy than the original because it replaces three times with triple.
D. Many buyers, in a recent survey of the real estate market, expressed that they would prefer to purchase a new house in a new neighborhood rather than one in a more desirable area that costs triple
Not quite.
Although this answer choice is less wordy than the original by changing three times to triple, it changes the meaning of the original sentence. The pronoun one refers to a new house. In the original sentence, however, the new house is compared to an old house, not to another new house.
E. In a recent survey of the real estate market, many buyers expressed that they would prefer to purchase a new house in a new neighborhood rather purchasing an old house in a more desirable area that costs triple[/quote]
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The construction A rather than B requires that A and B belong to the same part of speech. If A and B are unconjugated verbs, they should be of the same type. To purchase is a To verb whereas purchasing is a Verb+ing.
