Question

In countries such as China the government is recognizing the advantages of a capitalist market rather than communism and adjust economic policy accordingly.

• A. capitalist market rather than communism and adjust
• B. capitalist market rather than Communism and adjust
• C. capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjust
• D. capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting
• E. Capitalistic market nor a Communist market and adjusting

Hint:

Maintain parallel structure by using the correct articles and verb forms in a sentence, especially when comparing two things.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the sentence.
The sentence should maintain consistency in parallel structure. The correct form must use the article "a" before "communist market" for consistency and the gerund "adjusting" to match the structure of the sentence.

Step 2: Analysis of options.
- (A) capitalist market rather than communism and adjust: Incorrect. "Communism" is a noun, and "adjust" does not parallel the sentence structure.
- (B) capitalist market rather than Communism and adjust: Incorrect. "Communism" should not be capitalized, and "adjust" is not consistent with the grammatical structure.
- (C) capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjust: Incorrect. "Adjust" should be in the gerund form "adjusting" to maintain parallel structure.
- (D) capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting: Correct. This choice maintains parallel structure with the gerund form "adjusting."
- (E) Capitalistic market nor a Communist market and adjusting: Incorrect. "Nor" is used incorrectly here, and "Capitalistic" is unnecessarily different from "capitalist."

Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (D) capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{(D) \, \text{capitalist market rather than a communist market and adjusting.}} \]
