as vs than

[Indradeep]

Most Corporations pay at least twice as much to full-time employees, if the value of benefits, sick days, and paid vacation days are included in earnings, than to part-time employees, whose hourly wages are often higher than those of their full-time colleagues.

(A) are included in earnings, than
(B) are included in earnings, as
(C) is included in earnings, than they pay
(D) is included in earnings, as is paid
(E) is included in earnings, as they pay

Between C and E.
Why?

Why not B ???

IMO "the value of benefits, sick days, and paid vacation days" create plural subject, hence I choose B.

[umaa]

IMO B.

"if the value of benefits, sick days, and paid vacation days"

So, ""are should come instead of "is"

E

the value of x,y and z: value is singular and takes singular verb "is"

A. SV agreement error
B. SV agreement error
C. SV error corrected. as much..than wrong idiom
D. SV error corrected. Corps pay as much ...as is paid: not parallel. one side of the idiom active and the other passive

E. correct. idiom: as much ..as. both sides of the idiom parallel

E

Agreed!!!
The "value" is singular (not "values"), therefore it should take singular verb "IS". You are right, mate! Thanks!!!
