Any inputs guys
I'd have to side with iamcste for the parallel structure on this one.
imo D
as iamcste explained
imo D
as iamcste explained
Can't it be A as it is comparing amount with cost,price and amount.
D compares amount with cost,price and payment
Please explain. I fully understand imcste's point though!!!

What if i have not yet beat the beast, I know i will beat it!!!!!!!!
I go for E. Look at D, [that were borrowed against the home] modifies [expenses], which makes no sense. It should modify [payment] instead
A is wordy, I think, [ amount.... to pay] = payment
A is wordy, I think, [ amount.... to pay] = payment
In Choice D
It states:
Any additional payment......... that were
isn't 'any additional payment' singular ???
It states:
Any additional payment......... that were
isn't 'any additional payment' singular ???
I think "OF..." and "OF..." construction is designed as a trick in this sentence for whom apply the rules of parallelism without paying attention to the core of the sentence.
If the amount of loan does not exceed - marks the beginning of our list
so X, Y and Z
exceed the purchase price of the home, the cost of improvements, and any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses.
E is using almost the same parallelism here but it is changing to meaning to "any additional payment borrowed " by omitting the word, amount.
So A looks good to me.

As I mentioned A is not wrong, However is A using parallelism when particularly a list of items are mentionedlogitech wrote:I think "OF..." and "OF..." construction is designed as a trick in this sentence for whom apply the rules of parallelism without paying attention to the core of the sentence.

If yes, how are items parallel ??
IMO A
B & C easy to eliminate.
D: If we remove of ... part then sentence will become "any additional payment that were borrowed." That has two problems: 1. payment is singular were is plural, and 2. we don't borrow payment.
E: additional payment borrowed is also wrong. We don't borrow payment.
OA plz?
