Some surveys on the use of graphics in business presentation indicate that proposals incorporating graphics stand a twenty percent better chance of being approved than proposals without graphics.

A. a twenty percent better chance of being approved than proposals
B. a twenty percent better chance of approval in comparison with those
C. a likelihood they will be approved twenty percent greater than those
D. a twenty percent greater likelihood of approval as compared to proposals
E. twenty percent more likelihood of being approved than do those

Interested to see your explanations. Will post the OA later.

A. a twenty percent better chance of being approved than proposals
B. a twenty percent better chance of approval in comparison with those -> Need "better......than"
C. a likelihood they will be approved twenty percent greater than those -> Changes the meaning.
D. a twenty percent greater likelihood of approval as compared to proposals -> Compared with should be used to show diff.
E. twenty percent more likelihood of being approved than do those -> "Do Those" not correct here. Comparison is between proposals

Interested to see your explanations. Will post the OA later.

IMO B

proposals are being compared here..
So "comparison with" should be used....

also B is active voice as compared to A....
