flaw: inproper comparison


A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio

river incorrectly compared to cities.


B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United Stated, which is no longer the local point of urban life, in San Antonio the river

1)"the" makes it more specific
2) river incorrectly compared to San Antonio




C)Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it

same problem

D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio

united states incorrectly compared to "the river"


E) No longer do many cities in United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river

correct comparison:city is compared to city(san antonio)

i hope this helps.

thanks.
