IMO "b".

More X than Y. X and Y should be parallel.

I am rejecting "e" is due to "ing" form of varying. Moreover IMO it would have been better if "could" would have been before varying...to create parallelism with "services".

X = varied account services.
Y = could thrift institutions.

Here could refer to the services given by institutions. No other except "e" is providing this logical comparison.

In "d" the issue is with idiom...more X than Y. X is before more.

Is there any reason for this "more varied account services than could thrift institutions" ? I mean to say if we can know the reason(if it exists) then we can judge the answer choices in a better way in future.

IMO "varied" is modifying the combined "account services".

Sorry copy paste error:

Please read the above as:

helping verb should come before the noun in the 2 nd comparing phrases.

Except for Ron comments about "could"...i.e. if we ignore could issue.....

Which one is preferable here... "varying services" or "varied services"...

Can services be varying ? IMO services should be varied.....
