The prime lending rate is a key rate in the economy: not only are the interest rates on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses tied to the prime, but also on a growing number of consumer loans, including home equity loans.
(A) not only are the interest rates on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses tied to the prime, but also on
(B) tied to the prime are the interest rates not only on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses, but also on
(C) the interest rates not only on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses are tied to the prime, but also
(D) not only the interest rates on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses are tied to the prime, but also on
(E) the interest rates are tied to the prime, not only on most loans to small and medium-sized businesses, but also

according to the parallelism，


B tied to the prime...
it's a inversion sentence

Is the answer "D"?
"Native of" is used for a individual while "Native to" is used for a large group

Agree with B

tied to the prime are i-rates
1) NOT ONLY on X
2) BUT ALSO on Y

choice A,c,D and E compare interest rate of SMB loans tied to not only prime but also to ___

this doesn't make sense

My vote for B.
Reason:
look for the first line "The prime lending rate is a key rate in the economy", the correct option should start from where first sentence end, basically starting by making connection with "prime" and it is done by option B and E alone.

so we can first narrow down to B and E first.

NEXT
B sounds better than E and clearly makes statments that its "Interest Rate" not prime rate.

Guys, anyone please post OA ,,,
