GOOD SC Question

by amir_hatef » Wed Nov 17, 2010 8:15 am
Hi everybody,

I came across a good SC so I decided to share it with you:

The school board decided to reduce the number of children attending the after-school program, to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and they decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger.

A) program, to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and they decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger
B) program, to make greater the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and they decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities greater
C) program, to make greater the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and it decided to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities greater
D) program and to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and it also decided to allocate more money to extracurricular activities
E) program, and to increase the amount of time allocated for each mathematics or science class, and to make the money allocated to extracurricular activities larger

OA: D

Hint: A pronoun must unambiguously agree with the noun to which it refers.
