Researchers are using computer images to help surgeons plan difficult operations and to develo ... ulators do for pilots, letting medical personnel practice their techniques and test their reflexes before they ever see a patient.

A. plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses in the same way that flight simulators do
B. plan difficult operations and develop programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as with flight simulators
C. to plan difficult operations and to develop programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators
D. plan difficult operations and in developing programs to work for doctors and nurses the same way as flight simulators
E. to plan difficult operations and developing programs that will work for doctors and nurses like flight simulators do

It's A because A makes clear that they're using the computers to help surgeons plan difficult operations, and they're also using the computers to develop programs. The other choices are confusing in terms of who's going to be developing programs. This is one of these cases that make clear why it's important to pay attention to meaning in resolving "list" problems.

Hi Karen
Correct me if I am wrong... Option B is wrong because by omitting the second (to) develop is not clear who is doing the develop computer programs or researchers??
Many tks in advance!!!! :)
