I am confused between 'A' and 'D'.

'D' looks wordy so i am with 'A' here.

I m confused between 'A' and 'B'..
It could not be anything else as all other choices violate parallelism.
Why it can't be 'B'??
Some choose L!fe, Some choose death.
I choose not to choose.

the first action cause the second action, so , must be "doing". because "church " do not demonstrate.

B is wrong because "how" must go with advert or adjective

A is left.

I think B also changes the meaning. The churches are not actually standing there putting on a presentation showing how wooden buildings can last indefinitely. A more clearly gets the point across.

A - "demonstrating" incorrectly modifies "standing". hence incorrect.
B - same as A.
C - second half of the sentence (after semicolon) wont be able to stand on its own. hence incorrect.
D - "sound design and maintenance" of what? not clear. hence incorrect.

hence IMO E.



Thanks!
