Eliminate A, B, and C right away because "as X, rather than Y" needs parallel items.

In D "which" refers to corporation, making no sense. Use the participal "including" in E for the correct answer.

ansumania - is the correct idiom 'as X, rather than Y' or 'as X, rather than as Y'?
Even I am confused with this. hence I picked option C.


One more question, why is 'includes' wrong in C as compared to including? (assuming all other conditions are met)

"Includes" is not so much the error in C.

The pronoun "that" creates problems as it seems to refer to the corporation, but that doesn't make any sense.

As far as the idiom "As...rather than..." I'm 98% sure that we should not use a second "as," just based on intuition.

I guess the answer is "E"

As told by nibake.

Added to this "Includes" which applies for singular can't refer to plural "services".

B, C and D are out because restrictive pronoun 'that' is referring to corporation and non-restrictive pronoun 'which' is also referring to corporation. Usage of both 'that and which' is wrong here.

A is wrong because subject is 'role', which is singular and verb is 'have', which is plural. E eliminates this issue. Therefore, E is the best here
