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.

OA: A

can someone explain this one?
Furthermore, i would like to ask the use of "THERE is/are", since the GMAT doesn't like this kind of usage?
the other one is that does "UNLIKE" can only use for comparing 2 nouns? so E is wrong?

thank u!!!!

Yes, unlike only compares two nouns. Also, it is used in an introductory clause in both d and e, so the word immediately following the introductory clause must be the noun that is being compared. In both instances no noun is introduced, so the answers are wrong.

I don't think there is an issue with the usage of "There is/ are" on the GMAT. However, in this particular example we need "there are".

Also, the plural pronoun "them" in A is correct because it refers to monkfish, which is plural.

Monkfish is plural since plural of "fish" is "fish". The word "monkfishes" or "fishes" does not exist. I suggest that you remember this fact about "fish". However, even if you did not know this, you can determine from the context that "monkfish" has been used in plural sense, representing monkfish species in general. After all it would not make sense to overfish 1 - singular fish.

As a practice try your hand on this other GMAT Prep question:

To meet the rising marketing demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.
A. their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
B. their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
C. growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
D. they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
E. they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut
