A is rightmoneyman wrote:Pls explain
B and C use participal phrases
E-were laid , different tense
D- to form is verb form with infinitive and we need a noun
sentence D starts with "to form" it is infinitve verb formgmat009 wrote:IS it D
and we need a noun which would be described by "the most extensively method"
I too take D as my second best option
Just my 2 cent..Lets see what other folks can offer

Ok,
A and D detailed analyis
D-Its right not due to parellelism . Infact, its wordy
as per the rules, in parallelism of infinitives, second "to" is optional and often better to eliminate
This is one of the reason, its not the most perfect choice
Most imp point why D is correct in pronoun usage
"them" correctly refers to Bricks and usage is unabmigous
A
They refers to the subject "the forming" which is wrong and changes the meaning.
so, lets weight
an optional rule missed v/s pronoun error
hence, revised IMO D

so, we need to spend words very economically
In case of questions, kindly revert back
OA is D
to form..to lay is right
A is wrong because forming..they lais is not parallel
E is wrong because "that" is missing in the end of the sentence so it is not parallel
