In Japan, unlike the United States, unions appear reluctant to organize
Construction is not ||. It would be || if the statement is
In japan , unlike in United states...
I was also suckered into picking C. Where did you get this question?rohit9359 wrote:Q. Unlike the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize lower-paid workers.

i am sure the answer has to be C
i had narrowed down to B and C.
this is why i chose C....
now wht we are comapring here is the japanese unions and the american unions.... in C we are perfectly comparing the respective unions of Japan and America..while in B as well as in E wht can be infered is japanese unions in japan and japanese unions in amerca which is not wht the sentence is talking bout.
so IMO C and i think i am right in my reasoning unless i am missing some crooked detail.

The OA to this question is B.
i also got tempted by C and chose it, but someone raised a point about the preposition 'in'.
Can some experts comment on whether ' in Japan, unlike the United States' construction is incorrect because of the preposition?
