commuter rail system

Because the population is denser there and the automobile is therefore inefficient as a means of transportation, a commuter rail system serving a given population is usually five times more efficient in a European city than it is in an American city.


A: serving a given population is usually five times more efficient in a European city than it is in an American city

B: serving a given population will usually be five times more efficient if it is placed in a European city instead of an American city

C: will usually be five times more efficient in a European city than one serving a comparable population in an American city

D: in a European city will usually be five times more efficient than will a system serving a comparable population in an American city

E: that is implemented in a European city will usually be five times more efficient than if it is implemented with a comparable population in an American city [/u]

IMO "c"

Parallelism is like "A system...more efficient than another system"....

In all but "c" this parallelism is broken.

I dont see anything wrong with A. What is the problem with A?

Because the population is denser there and the automobile is therefore inefficient as a means of transportation, a commuter rail system serving a given population is usually five times more efficient in a European city than it is in an American city.

it clearly refers to commuter rail system.
