Just as to break a sentence into clauses and phrases helps the student understand the intended meaning so using the correct grammatical construction helps the student express meaning clearly and concisely.


A to break a sentence
B breaking a sentence
C the sentence’s breakdown
D the breakdown of a sentence
E breaking up of a sentence
.
Doubt: the proclaimed answer is B . i want to understand as what is WRONG with E.

thanks

In B, breaking is parallel to using in that they both convey that an actor is doing something to an object.

Someone is breaking a sentence into clauses and someone is using the correct grammatical construction.

So the sentence created using B is concise and the construction is parallel.

In E, while using the correct grammatical construction conveys that someone is using the construction, breaking up of a sentence is not clearly being done by someone. E seems to be less about someone breaking up a sentence, than it is about the breaking up of a sentence.

If choice E were merely, breaking up a sentence, then maybe it would be fine.

E: Just as breaking up of a sentence...so using correct grammatical construction
Here, the portion in red is a prepositional MODIFIER, while the portion in blue serves as the DIRECT OBJECT of using.
breaking up of a sentence (VERBing + modifier) and using correct grammatical construction (VERBing + direct object) are not parallel forms.
Eliminate E.
