There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

A. There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

B. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.

C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

D. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.

E. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

we need 2 comparable nouns close to "unlike" , one noun before and one noun after "unlike"

there is a pattern

main clause, noun relative clause

for example

I like her, a thing which all of you know.

I do not see this sentence pattern in general grammar book, even the most comprehensive grammar book. but this pattern is given in OG 10, a question at begining.

A is the answer.

hi - i received a private message asking for a response, but i don't see any specific questions here, other than some confusion between (a) and (e).

here's the deal:

* "monkfish" is a weird word, but it's just like "fish" - it can appear as either singular or plural, with the same spelling.
BUT, when it's used as singular, it needs an article (the monkfish, or a monkfish). so it's plural in this sentence.

* (e) is wrong because the comparison doesn't work.
if your sentence starts off with
unlike catching cod and haddock, ______
then the blank MUST be filled in with some other act of fish-catching; if it's filled in with anything else, then the comparison is nonparallel and therefore wrong.
