Question

A part of the sentence is underlined. Below are the alternatives which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. I prefer to ride than to walk.

• A. ride to walked
• B. walks to ride
• C. riding than walking
• D. riding to walking

Hint:

Ensure parallel structure when comparing two activities or actions. In this case, both parts of the comparison must follow the same grammatical pattern (i.e., both should use the infinitive form).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct construction should be "riding to walking," which maintains proper parallelism in the comparison. The structure of the sentence requires two infinitive forms to compare the activities of riding and walking. "To walk" should be parallel with "to riding," hence the correct option is "riding to walking."
