While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people’s attitudes toward pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally.

(A) by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
(B) by suggesting the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(C) suggest the reduction of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call
(D) suggest the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling
(E) suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling


Why is correct answer E why not A?

The subject in terms of the correction to be made is "others". This straight away rules out the first two options. "others by suggesting" is gramatically wrong. "others suggest" is more like it. Between C,D, and E, it is fairly straightforward to narrown it down to one answer. If you want me to say something more about narrowing down the right answer between C,D, and E, let me know and I will go into detail. I hope this helps.

OK. My sincere apologies for the delayed response. C and D can be ruled out since both use the "suggest the reduction of" phrase which is more wordy that "suggesting reducing". Unnecessary wordiness is also grounds for elimination of options. This narrows it down to C. I hope this helps.

I based my answer on a paralelism among the verbs: combat / suggest / call
C for me. What is the OA?
