Unlike the United Kingdom, where the party that wins a majority of seats in Parliament chooses the head of the government, the chief executive in the United States is chosen in an election separate from that which determines the majority party in the legislative branch.

Whats the difference between C and E

I know rest all are wrong because they are comparing UK with the chief executive or the process in USA and blah!

Either of C or E is also doing the same thing...but cant figure out the correct option!

IMO : C

Nothing against E on grammar consideration. The intent of the passage is very well delivered since the start of the sentence by option C - showing a contrast straightway in the beginning of the sentence.

I think its only a matter of style.

The comparison is illogical. Unlike that of UK,..that of US seems better. I would choose E.

Wrongly compares party of UK with US....Also "US has a Chief Executive" is wrong.

D.In comparison with the United Kingdom, where the party that wins a majority of seats in Parliament chooses the head of the government, the chief executive in the United States

E. In the United Kingdom, the party that wins a majority of seats in Parliament chooses the head of the government, but in the United States the chief executive
Correctly compares how the head is chosen in UK and in US.
IMO E. Find the explanation inline.
