10. A large rise in the number of housing starts in the coming year should boost new construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry's economic health much more robust than five years ago.
(A) making the construction industry's economic health much more robust than five years ago
(B) and make the construction industry's economic health much more robust than five years ago
(C) making the construction industry's economic health much more robust than it was five years ago
(D) to make the construction industry's economic health much more robust than five years ago
(E) in making the construction industry's economic health much more robust than it as five years ago


OA is : C can't understand why B can not be true here

Its an improper comparison. In choice B it is comparing the health of the industry with 5 years ago. You have to say "more than it was five years ago"

OOPS , Did not notice the later part of this sentence.

If in answer B that comparison issue was solved , could have been that answer correct?
