Aye Mate,

The question doesn't seem right. Choice A does not match the text in the question. Could you please recheck and make the necessary alterations? And if you can underline the part which needs to be corrected it would be very useful for the students.

Thanks.

For clarity, let me para-phrase the question:
The purchase of X was like that of Y, which provided ....

My Question: what does "which" modify?
purchase of X, purchase of Y, or Y itself(the closest antecedent)?
