Controversies about health care focus on access to insurance or tempests like the one that erupted over new mammogram guidelines.
A. tempests like
B. tempests, such as
C. on tempests, like
D. on tempests, such as
E. to tempests, such as
[spoiler]OA: Option D[/spoiler]
Option C and D remove parallelism errors. I chose Option C because "like" seemed to me correct usage, because we are not referring to tempests (Storms) in the literal sense of the term. The tempest in the question refers to the public uproar not a physical storm. Hence "such as", which is used to refer to examples of similar might not be appropriate.
Please let me know where did I go wrong.
