In Britain, "pig" refers to any member of the class of domestic swine, but the United States uses the term when referring only to younger swine not yet ready for market and weighing less than 82 kilograms (180 pounds).

(A) the United States uses the term when referring
(B) the United States term refers
(C) in the United States the term refers
(D) in the United States they use the term as it refers
(E) it is used in the United States when referring

OA: C

Please explain why A/B/E are incorrect

(A) the United States uses the term when referring parallelism is missing
(B) the United States term refers (?comman is missing)--- it is saying that united states refers to.....
(C) in the United States the term refers --- Correct
(D) in the United States they use the term as it refers --- they is ambigous
(E) it is used in the United States when referring -- It is refering to whom??

IMO C

In britain,.....but in United states...

Hi manhiep2509,

This question is based on Comparison rules (and by extension, Parallelism rules). We need an answer that compares "like" things AND does so in the same "format."

The first half of the sentence states "In Britain, pig refers to...."

The second half of the sentence (the comparison) has to match the first half and be in the same format. To start, we'd need the phrase "in the United States...." Eliminate A, B and E.

Next, we need to complete the second phrase so that it matches the first: "In Britain, PIG REFERS TO...." is matched by "the term refers....to...." Eliminate D. As an aside, the word "to" appears after the underlined portion, so that's why it's not in the answer choices.

Final Answer: C

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
