A long-term study of some 1,000 physicians indicates that the more coffee these doctors drank, the more they had a likelihood of coronary disease.

(A) more they had a likelihood of coronary disease
(B) more was their likelihood of having coronary disease
(C) more they would have a likelihood to have coronary disease
(D) greater was their likelihood of having coronary disease
(E) greater was coronary disease likely

Hi Experts ,

Also please explain the difference between more and greater

Thanks

What is the OA to this SC question?

I think it should be A. But, the "greater" in the last two options confuse me.

Hello rsarashi and Vincen.

I think the OA is B.

According to the structure of the sentence.

"the more coffee these doctors drank"

B. "more was their likelihood of having coronary disease".

But, I would like an expert tell us what is the correct answer.
