Writing question help please

<p>The 'Mayan Rivera," which (extends down) the eastern coast of Mexico, (has many hidden) caves, one (of which) is larger (than the size of) Monaco. </p>

<p>I chose E but the answer is D. Can any one explain to me why is D wrong and what's wrong with it? Thanks</p>

<p>Larger: Of greater than average size, extent, quantity, or amount; big. 2. Of greater than average scope, breadth, or capacity; comprehensive</p>

<p>Replace “larger” with the applicable definition and one gets…</p>

<p>The Mayan Rivera, which extends down the eastern coast of Mexico, has many hidden caves, one of which is larger size than the size of Monaco.</p>

<p>That should immediately raise alarms.</p>

<p>Let’s try applying similarly flawed concepts to more basic sentences.</p>

<p>I’m stronger than the strength of you.</p>

<p>The error here is redundancy.</p>

<p>“the size of” is unnecessary and redundant and should be removed.</p>

<p>D is redundant.</p>

<p>“Larger than Monaco” would have sufficed.</p>

<p>I see it now. Thanks guys for the quick reply! ^^</p>
