41. The World Bank, the only one of its kind, provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, and for projects from other public and private sources encourages co-financing.

A. provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, and for projects from other public and private sources encourages co-financing.
B. provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, and for projects from other public and private sources encouraging co-financing.
C. provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, and for projects from other public and private sources encouraged co-financing.
D. provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, and encourages co-financing for projects from other public and private sources.
E. provides loans to developing member countries, gives technical assistance for development projects, but encourages co-financing for projects from other public and private sources.

--------

Why is B correct answer ?

what about parallel structure - provides loans..gives technical assistance..and encourages co financing ...in D[/u]

I really think B does not convey the corect and intended meaning.For me D is best.

However, [b]and[/b] before [b]gives[/b] could have made B a better choice.

Good one this....

Had to read it couple of times and as stubbornp stated D changes the meaning. In 'B' 'encouraging' I guess is used as an adjective describing financing.

'D' instead suggests that the bank just encourages co-financing.

-A

Doesn't choice 'B' need "AND" in between ?

provides loans to developing member countries, AND gives technical assistance for development projects, and for projects from other public and private sources encouraging co-financing.

if there is"AND' used in b as UMMA suggested then B is correct
But this mistake cant happen in all the choices.
So, it is a list of 3 items.
1. provides loans
2. gives ...
3. encourages...

D is my bet....

Here is the link to this question,

www.ofekgmat.com/userfiles/gmatvdiag.doc

Check out Q41.

Here is the explanation, word to word. B-is misprint

41. The best answer is B. Choices A, B and C all violate parallelism by putting the indirect object ahead of the verb, and for project from other public and private sources… The use of but in choice E is incorrect because encourages is not contrast to provides and gives.

I think all those who chose B as the answer would like to get their meaning straight :)
No rest for the Wicked....
