B - Wrong construction...in Canada it is 35% and in Great Britain

C has the best construction....OA please

I like C since it is parallel. But why can it not be "E".
Can someone explain why is "E" wrong?
Thanks For Your Help

[quoteE - ' going on to ' is wrong const.[/quote]

Ooops i missed that "going on to".
I am still curious if E were to be "go on to" would it have been correct?

Hey tallynik!
(E) The percentage of United States high school graduates going on to college is fifty-two that in Canada is thirty-five, and that in Great Britain, Japan, and West Germany is fifteen - is wrong because "that" in Canada,Great Britain and West Germany is nonsensically referring US high school graduates.
Pls let me know if this helps.Thanx.

The subject of sentence E is "The percentages" followed by the preposition "of" and .........

I dont see how "That" refers to "high school graduates" it should refer to "percentage".

this question has real problems.

no.1 - u.S needs an apostrophe... the 50 % only denotes a share of the sutdent, to denote posession properly we need to write. 50% of u.s' students...
other than that there are no other errors in A,
No, G.B, japan, and west germany's is correct as the rule says that we can only place one apostrophe at the end of the last word, if the subject is collective, in this case they share a common percentage.

eg. you say john and macy's
not john's and macy's unless the ofcourse the emphasis on the separate nature of the clause.
