IMO A


CORRECT PARALLEL STRUCTURE

[hmboy17]

how do you see "increasing tuition costs at private colleges" in option A?

[vani_13in]

Even I think A is the answer among all other options. What is the answer?

[riteshbindal]

C IMO. OA plz

[bharathh]

E

the use of one doesn't sound right.

[hemanth28]

Even I am stuck with A and E.
A - One sounds awkward. However parallelism is maintained.

E - academies improving their recruiting is a verb phrase and the others are noun phrases.

I think A should be the right answer.

OA please.

Why isn't D getting any attention?

[kbharadwaj.1987]

It's "A".
No other option is even close to the correct one as for me.

IMO A, though not quite sure.

The parallelism starts after by ,
