<p>A) the greater is its toll in human misery

C) in its human misery toll it is greater
D) there is the greater toll in human misery
E) its toll in human misery is greater</p>

<p>Answer: E</p>

<p>I chose B, though. Can someone explain why the answer is E and not B? Is it because B changes the meaning slightly? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I think you just have to say "toll in human misery".</p>

<p>E is correct because it is parallel to "Surface mining is safer, quick and cheaper"</p>
