Freedman's survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.
(A) no happier than do people living
(B) not any happier than do people living
(C) not any happier than do people who live
(D) no happier than are people who are living
(E) not as happy as are people who live


According to me the correct answer is A.
Options D and E: They get cancelled out as they are not at all parallel as they both use the word
'who' for the modifying the people living in big cities.

Options B and C: Both the options get cancelled out as 'not any happier' is not idiomatic in GMAT as well as in Degrees of comparison..

Hence we are left with A
A is parallel as well as clarifies the meaning....

Is my explanation right, please give explanations for all the options.....
IT IS TIME TO BEAT THE GMAT

LEARNING, APPLICATION AND TIMING IS THE FACT OF GMAT AND LIFE AS WELL... KEEP PLAYING!!!

Spot on with your explanations :)

IMO A.

C/E - who live is not parallel to living - ruled out
B - not any happier is wordy and awkward compared to no happier
D - than are people who are - awkward construction

P.S: Please underline the part under study and use spoilers for Answers.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
