Trickey writing problem in CB blue book

<p>Hey guys i need help with a writing problem. It is the CB blue book page 724 number 18. Could someone tell me why it is B and not E. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think it should be "The survey showed that most shoppers who drive prefer the mall to the downtown stores"</p>

<p>^^yep
it's a trikey ideyom :)
prefer ...to...
(not <prefer ...more="" than...="">)</prefer></p>

<p>if it is an idiom question why is it labeled as an easy question</p>

<p>idiom errors are not supposed to be hard... Prefer 1 to 2 is especially common..</p>
