<p>Annual visitors to New York Citys Central Park number almost ten times [that of Mount Rushmore.] No error</p>
<p>The bracketed is incorrect. The corrected statement is </p>
<p>Annual visitors to New York Citys Central Park number almost ten times the visitors to Mount Rushmore.</p>
<p>Explanation for Correct Answer D : </p>
<h2>The error in the sentence occurs at (D). It does not make sense to compare the plural noun phrase visitors to New York Citys Central Park to the singular phrase that of Mount Rushmore. The singular phrase should be replaced with the plural noun phrase visitors to Mount Rushmore so that both phrases reference visitors to a location.</h2>
<p>I'm a little confused with the explanation. I understand comparing plural to singular should be incorrect, but for some reason it's not registering with me. Could someone please explain this to me? </p>
<p>Thank-you.</p>
<p>Those = Plural
THat = singluar
Visitors = plural, so it needs “THOSE of Mt Rushmore”</p>
<p>Thank-you, that makes sense. </p>
<p>So the given corrected statement “Annual visitors to New York Citys Central Park number almost ten times the visitors to Mount Rushmore” can also be “Annual visitors to New York Citys Central Park number almost ten times those of Mount Rushmore.”</p>
<p>Any particular reason CB wouldn’t give the most concise answer? A little awkward, perhaps?</p>
<p>In other words, you can’t compare the # of visitors of Central Park to Mount Rushmore.</p>
<p>…but you CAN compare the # of visitors of Central Park to the # of visitors of Mount Rushmore.</p>
<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that you can use “those” in this context…It isn’t 100% clear what “those” is. (Although I know you mean people)</p>
<p>Thank-you Bumbulbi. I was thinking it may be a typical parallel question, but the “that of Mount Rushmore” made me throw that idea out.</p>
<p>I think “those” can be used. It can’t really refer to anything else in this sentence.</p>
