large steel plants

by kaulnikhil » Thu Apr 08, 2010 6:12 am
In contrast to large steel plants that take iron ore through all the steps needed to produce several different kinds of steel, processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology and remain economically viable.
(A) processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology and remain
(B) processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology, remaining
(C) the processing of steel scrap into a specialized group of products has enabled small mills to put capital into new technology, remaining
(D) small mills, by processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products, have been able to put capital into new technology and remain
(E) small mills, by processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products, have been able to put capital into new technology and remained

[spoiler]Cant E be parallel..small mills, by processing steel scrap into a specialized group of products, have been able to put capital into new technology and (HAVE) remained[/spoiler]

in comparison s/c the sub and verb being compared has to be llel and the comparison has to be in like terms
all this leads to D
in E remained is not llel to take

My pick is D. Immediately after reading the sentence, I narrowed down my choice to D and E. D is clear and parallelism. take Vs remain. So D wins
I'm here to BTG :)

+1 for D. Narrowing down to D & E is quite simple.

Thereafter, take and remain are ||el in D.
I am on a break !!

Thequestion is from OG . and parallelism is between to put and remain....parallelism with take doesnt make sense as the remain describes small mills...However your answer is correct but the logic is wrong..Hence would like to know why cant we use have(Understood) remained to describe small mills....In this way have been able and have remained will be parallel
