It is no surprise that Riyadh, the Saudi capital where people revere birds of prey and ride camels regularly, is home to the largest hospital for falcons, a place where falcons from all over the world are treated in operating rooms, an ophthalmology department, and a pox area, and to the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, a place where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
A an ophthalmology department, and a pox area, and to the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, a place where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
B an ophthalmology department, a pox area, and the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
C an ophthalmology department, to a pox area, and to the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, a place where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
D to an ophthalmology department, and to a pox area and the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, a place where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
E an ophthalmology department and a pox area, and the largest veterinary clinic for desert mammals, a place where camels and other desert species are expertly cared for.
First things first. We need to understand the structure of the sentence by cutting the fluff.
Riyadh is home to two things:
-the largest hospital for falcons
-the largest veterinary clinic
Both these things express a similar attribute, hence they have to be parallel.
Thus we need a to before "the largest veterinary clinic"
Eliminate B and E
Option C brings "pox area" to the same level as largest hospital and falcon. This is incorrect.
the pox area is a description of the hospital.
Option D brings the ophthalmology department and the pox area in the same level by making them parallel.
This is again incorrect as the ophthalmology department and the pox area are the descriptions of the hospital
Correct Option: A
Does this help?
