Parallelism

If the Medical College had spent more funds renovating than it did advertising, it would have been able to attract more students.

A)had spent more funds renovating than it did advertising

B)had spent more funds for renovation than it did to advertise

C)were to spend more funds renovating than it did advertising

D)were to spend more funds renovating than advertising

E)should spend more funds to renovate than to advertise

OA A

I have some questions which I need to clarify :

1) I came to know from the explanation that B is not correct as there is no Parallel construction. The list "for renovation... to advertise" is not parallel. So my question is if the choice in B was like this : had spent more funds for renovation than it did for advertisement then it would maintain parallelism?

2) If the choice in B was like this : had spent more funds to renovate than it did to advertise then it would maintain parallelism?

Please let me know !! It is very important for me to know in order to clear my concept.

i guess ur concern is pretty valid and yes B is not parallel for "prepositional phrases" cannot be parallel to "infinitives"

i also think that with if u make both of them either prepositional or infinitive then parallelism sud be taken care of

In both instances, your rephrasing of the sentences seems OK to me, however, in your first rephrasing of sentence you made sentence too wordy. Believe me nobody likes wordy sentence.

"to spend" v/s "advertising "

one is infinitive and other is Noun.

Hope this helps.

In choice A, both renovating and advertising are running without prepositional phrase. Is it correct?
