Comparison

I thought so too.

By using BY,it alters the meaning.....

Answer choice is correct...Proper Parallelism

Hi Thanks for the reply, using by does violate parallelism , but can you please explain the correctness of this choice purely in terms of the grammar used , I am still not understanding it.

Like those charged other heath care workers,

How to make sense of this dependant clause without using a preposition ?

Here those means the rates for other health workers.....

Hope it clears now...

Yes those replaces rates.

so if I substitute those by rates, the sentence becomes

"Like the rates charged healthcare workers, "


That still seems incorrect without a preposition.

Like the taxes charged in Texas, seems correct to me.

Like the taxes charged Texas,
doesnt sound correct to me. seems like taxes are doing the actions of charging Texas.

Can the preposition be implied ?

Can someone throw light on how preposition is implied here?..

I also rejected option e) because of this reason.
However the OA is e).

Please clarify how e is correct?.

Thanks.

The OA is 5, but I think its missing a "by". Should this not be "Like those charged by other health care workers, dentists' interests rates..."

Ideas ?

BR,

The rates are charged to health care workers, not by health care workers; we would use "by" if the sentence said "like those charged by other health care companies".

Idiomatically, we don't need a preposition in this sentence. We would say:

"The company charges me $40 a year", not "the company charges to me $50 a year".
