[hopefully]

for the "it" after the comma you need to defin an action therefore failure is incorrect

B C D are out..

in A that is not needed..

My vote for B...
OA?

[jayhawk2001]

Since "it" is mentioned in (A), I'm guessing it is part of underlined
sentence.

A & B have incorrect pronoun problem with "it"

D & E change the meaning by emphasizing on prominently as
opposed to the highest price

I'll go with C

jay,

The point of emphasis is "Failure to advertise highest price". In my opinion C and D equally emphasize this. Why not D?

thanks

I will go with C

Should this be A???

Reasons - the pronoun it best goes with Statement A. Also I dont find any errors with comparision - as prominetly as...

According to Spidey's notes 'it' should always be preceeded by a noun not a sentence in this case... so it cannot be A/B, has to be C
