I have got two questions from manhattan CAT and extra questions :
1. Instead of buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for someone new to financial planning, real estate has become increasingly the choice of young people as a first investment.
A> buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for someone new to financial planning, real estate has become increasingly the choice of young people
B> buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for those new to financial planning, increasingly young people have shown a choice for real estate
C> buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for someone new to financial planning, the choice of young people increasingly has become real estate
D> buying stocks and bonds, which are the conventional investments for those new to financial planning, young people have increasingly chosen real estate
E> stocks and bonds, which are the conventional approach for those new to financial planning, young people have shown an increasing choice of real estate
Explanation in Manhattan says that :
The original sentence contains the idiom "Instead of A, [subject] B", where A contains a verb ending in "-ing". The correct form of this idiom can be seen in the following simple sentence:
Instead of doing his homework, Arthur watched TV
I will post an another question which says that for verb, we should use Rather than Not Instead of. May be i am missing something in explanation.
