[f2001290]

Under the 1986 tax law, interest payments on a refinanced home loan are deductible only if the amount of the loan does not exceed the purchase price of the home, the cost of improvements, and any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses.
(A) any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
(B) borrowing any additional amount against the home for payment of medical or educational expenses
(C) also borrowing any additional amount against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
(D) any additional payment of medical or educational expenses that were borrowed against the home
(E) any additional payment borrowed against the home for medical or educational expenses

Why A and not E. Please explain.

Under the 1986 tax law, interest payments on a refinanced home loan are deductible only if the amount of the loan does not exceed the purchase price of the home, the cost of improvements, and any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses.
(A) any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
(B) borrowing any additional amount against the home for payment of medical or educational expenses
(C) also borrowing any additional amount against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
(D) any additional payment of medical or educational expenses that were borrowed against the home
(E) any additional payment borrowed against the home for medical or educational expenses

B,C & D are out because they violate parallelism
Amongst A & E...E says that the "additional payment is borrowed"....this alters the very meaning of the sentence
A maintains parallelism and the usage is correct

Just wanted to say: This is an std Q too: Paper Test 55 Q 15

I choosed D incorrectly. Also interested in A vs E theory...
