@Yogi,
“Comparing” is in present tense while the rest of the statment after comma is in past tense (were).
E
E is the answer.
B, C and D are eliminated straight away.
Between A & E – E is more concise and is the usual preferred form on GMAT.
Compared with is an Idion.
correct anw. E
E
Reasoning:
Compared to is always wrong when you are comparing like things…soright away eliminate B and D.
“they” at the end of the correction doesn’t point out clearly to whom it is refering to. So eliminate B and C.
If you have gone through the Manhattan material, you should be familiar with sentences of the type “wordy and awkward” A and D fall in that category. Eliminate A and D
You are left with the answer now
E is the correct answer
