<p>Bats and mosquitos come out at twilight, (and the bats would look for mosquitos and the mosquitos would look) for people
A) and the bats would look for mosquitos and the mosquitos would look
E) the bats to look for mosquitos and the mosquitos to look</p>
<p>Between these two answers, why is E a better choice?</p>
<p>I’ve seen this question before. The other three answers weren’t parallel if I’m correct. Then it comes down to these 2. On the SAT, I’m always skeptical of the word “and” because it usually indicates improper coordination. Here, E is clearly coordinated better than A.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Both answers are parallel. “Would look” indicates this will happen in the future, but the verb “come” indicates that it’s happening in the present. Plus, starting the clause with “and” indicates they do something in addition to coming out at twilight. They come out at twilight for the purpose of looking for food.</p>
<p>Choice (E) is correct because it provides the purpose in an infinitive form (“to look” is an adverb modifying “come”).</p>
