can someone explain each option
parallelism and agreement.
Eliminate A C, D and E for agreement issues (correct alternatives)
a) maintaining - cost (costs)
c) maintaining - do (does)
d) maintaining - oost (costs)
e) to maintain - cost (it costs)

Only B stands out.

Seems almost a clone of the OG question number 89:

Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strained townships point out that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.
