City planners are stressing public transportation as a means to reducing environmental pollution and calling for the creation of more subways and light rail systems.

A. to reducing environmental pollution and calling for
B. to environmental pollution reduction and calling for
C. of reducing environmental pollution and call for
D. of reducing environmental pollution a call for
E. of a reduction in environmental pollution and a call for

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



Answer: A.

The sentence is correct as written. The planners are performing two actions: “stressing…” and “calling…” The verbs are parallel. The correct idiom is “means to,” not “means of.”
