Sentence Correction

128. As it becomes more frequent to have spouses who both work outside the home, companies are beginning to help in finding new employment for the spouses of transferred employees.
(A) it becomes more frequent to have spouses who both work outside the home
(B) it becomes more frequent to have couples both working outside the home
(C) it becomes more common that both husband and wife should be working outside the home
(D) it becomes more common for both husband and wife to work outside the home
(E) couples in which both of the spouses working outside the home become more common

I have just started on SC. So, if my explanation is incorrect, bear with me!

The use of frequent is incorrect. The word used should be common. That leaves C,D and E.

(C) - 'that' cannot be used as it usually introduces a restrictive clause to explain its antecedent. Also 'should be working' is incorrect tense.

(E) - 'in which both of the spouses' is awkward and wordy.

(D) - Correct.


What is the OA?

I would go for D.

both A and B form is correct and the rest doesn't seem to have that.

OA is D
thnx

Vote for D
