I am really having a big trouble figuring out how to handle comparison questions. I can spot the comparision, but somewhere down the line, i miss to compare correctly.
When we say, consider X,Y or X more than Y - do the two parts X and Y need to be logically parallel? I mean, if X is of the form noun+verb+prepositional phrase then Y also needs to be of the same form. I understand this, but most of the official questions tend to show that the Y part normally contains either noun+verb or simply a noun. I genrally miss on these comparisons.
I went through mgmt sc guide for this topic a numerous number of times, but still not able to master this topic. i miss almost 90% of comparison questions I see and my verbal score tends to come down because of this.
Please help correct this
