GMATNinja pls help with this quesn.
My logic was, as the answer choices are very similar, the pronoun ambiguity of them can be used to differentiate.
Then option with singular should be selected to make it less ambiguous.
Thanks.
This question is a few decades old, so don't worry about it too much.
One thing to notice is that there's no good reason to compare a SINGLE condominium apartment owner to MULTIPLE cooperative apartment owners. You could argue that using the plural form for both makes the comparison a bit more clear: "owners of thing #1 have X, owners of thing #2 have Y". This structure is "parallel" and simple, so the comparison is very easy to follow.
Also, having the "whereas" up front makes it clear that we should expect a contrast between the two parts -- and again, that helps keep things clear and simple.
Those aren't particularly strong reasons, but that's probably what GMAC had in mind back in the late 80s or early 90s, when this question was first produced.
But again, this question is pretty darned old, so don't lose too much sleep over it!
