The most common reasons for an employee's unwill-ingness to accept a transfer are that mortgage rates are high, housing in the new location costs more, and the difficulty of selling the old home.

(A) that mortgage rates are high, housing in the new location costs more, and the difficulty of selling the old home.
(B) that mortgage rates are high, housing in the new location costs more, and that it is difficult to sell the old home
(C) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and that the old home is difficult to sell
(D) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and it is difficult to sell the old home.
(E) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and the difficulty of selling the old home

[spoiler]OA: E[/spoiler]

Would any expert explain?

--> Can a NOUN clause be parallel with a list of NOUNS?

Thanks.

I think that what we have here are three noun phrases and not a noun clause.

- high mortgage rates <modifier (adjective) + noun>
- the greater cost of housing in the new location <modifier (adjective) + noun + modifier (prepositional phrase)>
- the difficulty of selling the old home <noun + modifier (prepositional phrase)>

All three phrases are parallel.

Ya, I was about to say the same thing as niksworth. The OA confirms that noun clauses cannot be considered parallel to nouns, and the correct answer E is composed of nouns and noun phrases.

In another words, noun phrases do not have any main verbs.
Yep.

I knew that, but my question was whether there is any instance that NOUN clause can be parallel with NOUN.

NOUN, NOUN, NOUN------------> Parallel.

NOUN Phrase, NOUN Phrase, NOUN Phrase.------------Parallel.

NOUN, NOUN Phrase, NOUN clause---------IS IT CORRECT?

Do you have any example of such a sentence?

Thanks.

I can't think of one. In fact, I would be very surprised if a noun clause is considered parallel to nouns / noun phrases.
