Judge Bonham Motion

by goelmohit2002 » Wed Jun 03, 2009 5:19 am
Hi All,

In the following question the OA is "E". Can some one please help me understand

1. why "E" is preferred over "A" ?
2. OG also says that the two options i.e. "to go home" or "to confine" should be expressed in parallel and infinitive form. Can some one please help me understand why they should be expressed in the infinitive form only. Why "going" and "confining" would have been wrong ?
