Auto Insurance

by dnkcdnguy » Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:29 am
Unlike auto insurance, the frequency of claims does not affect the premiums for personal property coverage, but if the insurance company is able to prove excessive loss due to owner negligence, it may decline to renew the policy.

(A) Unlike auto insurance, the frequency of claims does not affect the premiums for personal property coverage

(B) Unlike with auto insurance, the frequency of claims do not affect the premiums for personal property coverage

(C) Unlike the frequency of claims for auto insurance, the premiums for personal property coverage are not affected by the frequency of claims

(D) Unlike the premiums for auto insurance, the premiums for personal property coverage are not affected by the frequency of claims

(E) Unlike with the premiums for auto insurance, the premiums for personal property coverage is not affected by the frequency of claims

OA to be provided after.

IMO D.

Comparison should be between automobile premiums with property premiums.

Both D& E compare automobile premiums and property premium. E is incorrect as it uses singular verb ' is' for premiums and has 'with' after 'Unlike', which makes the comparison not parallel.

Great answers. You are both correct.

Also, I was wondering if there's any idiom in this SC question as well.

This one was fairly easy though.

OA is D.

"unlike with" is just not the proper usage

Wrong comparison: Auto Insurance vs. frequency of claims...
