<p>On Collegeboard website I found this question:</p>

<p>One reason that an insect can walk on walls while a human cannot is that the mass of its tiny body is <far lower="" than="" humans="">.</far></p>

<p>Answer Choices
(A) far lower than humans<br>
(B) far lower than that of a human's body
(C) lower by far than humans
(D) far lower than a human
(E) far lower than is a human's body </p>

<p>why the correct answer is D?? i think according to parallelism it should be B because it whats to compare the mass of insect's body and the mass of human body.</p>

<p>Well it is obvious that it is not A and C.</p>

<p>Now B and E are also wrong because “human’s” = “human is” and that doesn’t fit well with the sentece.</p>

<p>Therefore, through POE, the answer is D.</p>

<p>Sorry, AudreyH is mistaken. What “doesn’t fit well with the sentence”? Human’s is obviously taking a possessive rather than a contraction of “human is”. Therefore the correct answer is B, not D. I also think that I saw this question in one of my QAS’s and the answer turned out to be B, not D. I will show the parallelism/comparison in detail:</p>

<p>mass of its tiny body is far lower than
that of human’s body</p>

4

<p>I agree with SakataGintoki.</p>

5

<p>Yes, the answer is (B).</p>

6

<p>your answer is wrong - -obviously the answer should be B. </p>

<p>PS: there are so many mistakes in the so-called “correct answer”!!!</p>
